Japanese engineers are, I’ve observed, “quick to adopt..”
Japan is now one of our closest allies, and were it not for the tsunami that flooded the diesels at Fukushima, its embrace of nuclear would be complete despite Hiroshima and Nagasaki. TEPCO really messed up on that.
The South will rise again. With or without slavery?
The South of Japan will rise again with or without Pearl Harbor? the Bataan Death March?
The Japanese should stop gripping about being a-bombed. It gave them their greatest cultural icon, Godzilla!

This would appear to confirm the wisdom of demanding unconditional surrender. That an adversary needs to recognize that they are defeated to prevent a conflict from turning into a guerilla insurgency like what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan. It would be interesting to know how WWII was portrayed in Japan during this time period. The Civil War and the war in the Pacific theater were both bloodbaths. Many people don’t know how bloody and brutal the war in the Pacific was. This is the backdrop against which each Reconstruction took place. When WWII started it was a total conventional world war. IIRC Sherman treated the Civil War as a total war. That he carved a swath of destruction through the South to destroy its means of continuing the war in order to shorten its duration.
