minhcao3 — 2025-05-14 15:09:02 UTC

Japan was a small island which was lacking in natural resources like rubber, coal, iron, and oil. Their goal was to build an empire to gain materials for industrial and economic growth. In 1931, Japan staged an attack from the Chinese planting explosives to use as an excuse for invasion. In a few months, Japan took over the entire Manchuria region for its coal and iron. This aggression was condemned by the League Nation, meaning Japan had to withdraw in 1933. In 1937, a full war broke out between Japan and China called the Second Sino-Japanese War. The battle had major damages and deaths to both sides. Japan then signed an alliance with the Nazis Germany and Fasinist Italy, doing the Axis Powers.

On August 6 and 9th, the US sent two atomic bombs to the cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. The aftermath killed 150,000 to 246,000 people, most being civilians. This caused Japan to announce surending to the allies. In the perspective of the US, they wanted to minimize American casualties and losses as quickly as possible. They also wanted to show dominance and pressure Japan to surrender. Japan's reaction to the nuclear bombs were very divided. Unfortunately antisurrender sentiment and objections from much of the Japanese military was widespread. Vice Admiral Takijiro Onishi, argued the Japanese "would never be defeated if we were prepared to sacrifice 20,000,000 Japanese lives in a special attack effort." He later committed suicide rather than surrender. As Foreign Minister, Togo was a member of Japan's Cabinet, the government decision-making body. Togo, more than anyone else in the Japanese Cabinet, pushed Japan toward peace. His efforts were restricted by the military to petitioning Russia to help Japan end the war. At the end, the surrender of Japan was announced on broadcast by Emperor Hitohro on 15 August.
