I caught some flak in another thread when I said there was talk of Japan surrendering before the nukes were dropped. Fire bombing Tokyo the tune of 250,000 innocent civilians deaths had many working on figuring out how to surrender and keep the Emperor in charge.

We probably bombed Japan because we needed to show the world what we could do. This of course saved a bunch of American lives but also brought the others out in groves

Truth. There was a peace faction lobbying for keeping the Emperor and some of their conquered colonies. The US would only accept total surrender. Of course, there were also factions arguing to fight to the very last man, woman, and child.
