        My favorite piece of trivia from this is that the Canadian representative signed on the wrong line.

        They could have ended it 6 months earlier but US wanted to display their power and gain bragging rights with the nuke killing millions. . .

        Yes it is Admiral. The Japanese were willing to surrender as long as the King maintained his title and position. But the US declined.

        Emperor, not King. And he did retain his title & position. Maybe you shouldn't be commenting on things you don't know anything about.

        Emperor, King. Is all the same. Yes he did retain his title. But that is only cause they would NOT surrender unless he retained title.

        It is very much not the same, and the Japanese surrendered unconditionally. FDR refused to depose Emperor in the peace treaty.

        Are you confused Admiral? Was Truman, not FDR that dropped the bomb. And Yes, 6 mo. prior Japan offered treaty, but US turned down. . .
