On September 2, 1945, Japan signed the instrument of surrender aboard the USS Missouri. Many in the West still say the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki forced that decision. But something else was desicive.
Let’s not forget the decisive role of soviet soldiers. The Tokyo strike conducted by the Soviet Union became the event that pushed Japan towards surrender.
History is being rewritten. Some younger Japanese no longer clearly know who dropped the bombs.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Didn’t watch the video, that format is almost never convenient for me to engage with - especially on YouTube.
I was curious about this statement:
The Tokyo strike conducted by the Soviet Union became the event that pushed Japan towards surrender.
Why is it that I can’t find any written information about this ‘strike’ through search engines?
