    This is pure kook stuff.

    Summary: No. Japan made no good faith effort to surrender prior to our use of two atomic weapons on two of their cities. It was only after the Russians destroyed the Japanese Kwantung Army that the Japanese chose to surrender.

    That is absolutely false. How did you come up with that? That is a great example of revisionist history.

    That is what I learned in college. I never really dug into it. My historical interest was in the European wars during the period leading up to the unification of the German and Prussian statelets.

    That view is presented by the history revisionists who habitually portray America as the evil disease infecting the world. Many of them are in control of our institutions of higher learning.

    In my opinion it is a shallow view of the facts. In the mid 1990s nearly all of the Magic Diplomatic Daily Summaries were declassified. They clearly show the Japanese were trying to make a separate peace with the Russians. They were trying to divide the allies one from another.

    They changed their minds after the Japanese army in Manchuria was completely destroyed by the Russians.
