      I think Japan would have won if not for China. The main reason Japan lost the war was that it started a war with US, and the reason for the war with US was the oil shortage caused by US's oil export restrictions. Without the Sino-Japanese war, Japan would have been able to control Southeast Asia earlier than in historical fact, and if that had happened, the oil shortage would have been resolved and there would be no reason for Japan to go to war with US. And this would affect the war between Germany and the USSR.

Also, the Japanese road link along the eastern China was not successfully established (i.e. Japan had to mainly rely on the sea route throughout the war) but infected heavy losses to the Chinese army at the time .

    My grandfather, aged 16, alongside two of his brothers, 15 and 19, were conscripted in 1938 and fought through the war against Japan. His younger brother died from Japanese artillery during the battle of Wuhan; he said he couldn't find his body as the shell had just shattered him into pieces. By the end of the war, his older brother was already a company commander.
    They then participated in the following civil war, during which their units got separated during the campaign of Huaihai. The battalion of his older brother managed to break out of the Communists encirclement during their final retreat and eventually went to Taiwan with the ROC government. But my grandfather was captured and was then enlisted into the PLA straight away due to his age and experiences.
    Grandfather later was sent to Korea as a part of the PVA during the Korean War in 1950. And that's where he lost his entire company of men and three of his fingers from frostbite. His older brother settled in Taiwan and pursued a career in the police force, in which he eventually became the deputy chief of the police of Taoyuan.
    He and his brother were eventually reunited in 1987 after 38 years of separation as improved diplomatic relations between China and Taiwan opened a route for a large number of people who sought to visit their separated close relatives in mainland China after decades of separation. Sadly, their Mother passed away just a year before their reunification, that she wouldn't live to see her eldest son ever again since he left home in 1938.
    Grandfather passed away in 2009. RIP 爷爷, his entire life was basically a chapter in Chinese history, a page that was filled with pain and despair, but yet with strength and resilience. Hope he is in a better place, now, reunited with all his brothers, beside his mum, in a world where there is no war and hunger.

      Even after the Soviet invasion and second bombing, Japan was unwilling to surrender unconditionally. Their original terms had been:
      * The Emperor remains in power.
      * No foreign occupation of Japan, Korea or Formosa (Taiwan).
      * Self administration of disarmament.
      * Self administration of war crimes accusations.
      After Nagasaki, the Emperor ordered a surrender offered on only the first term. That was rejected and followed by a leaflets dropped from bombers, informing the Japanese people of the atomic bombings, the surrender negotiations and the demand for unconditional surrender. It also threatened more nuclear strikes if Japan did not surrender. At that point, members of the Big Six basically told the Emperor that if Japan did not surrender immediately, he was likely to be face either a popular rebellion (demanding surrender) or a military coup (to halt the negotiations).
      As to the casualties of the bomb, it is worth keeping in mind the situation on the mainland. The Japanese occupation of Asia was incredibly brutal, and in 1945 it ramped up to new levels. On average, 20,000 civilians were executed and another 80,000 died due to conditions imposed by the occupation every week. A two week delay in the end of the occupation (and ability to deliver relief) would have resulted in as many civilian deaths as the bombs (more if the bombs were taken off the table and Hiroshima released as a firebombing target). Plans for an invasion estimated the Japanese would resist for several months.

      Japan before the global economy and trade did not have a lot of natural resources, they were lacking in oil and steel.
      Besides resources the Japanese army and navy were actually extremely divided and would actively sabotage each other and themselves and rarely cooperated for anything. They still did remarkably well on their own but it is part of the reason why the land invasion in China couldn't be sustained as the Navy straight up couldn't give a shit to send supplies by ships lmfao which meant their logistics is severely screwed.

    The 1950 Korean War 朝鮮戰爭 (1955 Vietnam War 越南戰爭) is a war between China and the United States.
    For more than 2000 years, the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島 (Korean Peninsula) has been Chinese territorial and local regimes (until 1910). . Official languages and texts are also Chinese languages and Chinese characters漢字(classic Chinese文言文) .
    1910. Japanese occupation of the Korea (Chaoxian 朝鮮 , Real historical name - Chinese territory before 1910). Japan kills local Chinese officials (some Chinese escape back to other cities in China).
    The Japanese abolished Chinese characters 漢字 in Korea (Chaoxian 朝鮮) . Korean language and characters (invention of the 15th century) of indigenous language began to popularize on the Korea ( Chaoxian 朝鮮 ) .
    1945. Japan left the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島 (Korean Peninsula) after its defeat. The United States did not want China to take back the territory of the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島 (Korean Peninsula) and North vietman . So China and the United States had a war on the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島 (Korean Peninsula) and eventually split.
    1950. With the help of the USA. Become an independent country (North & South), dominated by the Korean ethnic (white clothes Ethnic白衣民族). The official language is Korean language and Korean characters, which is only 70 years of korean history.
    *** In the 15th century "Korean characters"( real history name 諺文 ). Created by local Chinese officials and Chinese scholars. It is used for local indigenous people and slaves (they speak Korean language).
    In order to facilitate the directing of Koreans to work and serve as soldiers (specifically used to fight Japanese pirates to prevent them from invading Chinese territory).

      Awesome exposure to historical facts. Adored and admired. Sadly, China lost so much during/after the Qing dynasty but the payback is how China could improve and regain power after a few decades. What goes around comes around and what goes up must come down. History is where we can find /see a lot of facts to learn how to avoid failures. Lots of people know except the politicians.

      Translation:
      My grandmother's grandfather was considered a folk martial artist. In the winter of the fall of Nanjing, he went to the county town to deliver goods to others, and the Japanese army came over, the city gates were closed and people were hiding in the bomb shelters. Basically, the Japanese entered the city without resistance, and then a fire was lit to kill all the people hiding in the shelter. My grandma's grandmother lost her husband and her two children lost their father, and was later forced to remarry. My grandfather's uncle had joined the army and reached the rank of captain, but died before the war was won. I have never cared for any "spiritual Japanese" and some foreigners who cleared the Japanese Army for their wrongdoings, because my family suffered a massacre and went against the invasion, but I do not want to preach hatred, just hope that there will be no more brainless glorification of militarism. War is really cruel.

    Interesting notes: This video begins with Manchuria already taken over by Japan from Chinese warlords, Korea and Formosa had already been taken over by Japan in 1895. China sounds to us like one entity but the government of the Republic of China was in an ever changing coalition with or against various Chinese warlords, a Red Chinese rebellion (that later took over as PRC) and a puppet Chinese regime with the same name and flag that was helping Japan. Really interesting, but sad and gruesome to millions of humans in China and elsewhere...🕯️

    The original plan of the United States is to make Japan an agricultural country, which declared surrender in 1945.
    However, after World War II, the world began the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and as a result, the Korean War began in 1950.
    At this time, the United States completely revised its plan to turn Japan into an agricultural country and built military factories and industrial complexes in Japan that were necessary for the Korean War. Japan was very lucky to achieve industrialization because of the Korean War.
    Originally, the Republic of Korea should not have been divided, but Japan, a defeated country, should have been divided. Japan did not become a divided country thanks to Korea's role as a breakwater in the Cold War era.
    After the Korean War ended in 1953, Korea, whose entire territory was in ashes, focused its education and science on the younger generation.
    The characteristics of the Republic of Korea were sincerity, responsibility, and above all, patriotism that loves the Republic of Korea. The Republic of Korea has finally become an advanced country.
    The Republic of Korea has been a great power since 2000 years ago and has had a brilliant history, civilization, and high-end social system, and has returned to its original position.

    Meanwhile, Yan Xishan turned from the governor of Shanxi under China to governor of Shanxi under Japan, and once Japan capitulated he recruited a huge number of Japanese troops to the nationalist Chinese side and fought with this army against Communist with more determination than Chiang-Kai-Shek until he was forced to retreat to Taiwan. There he became the de-facto leader and layed foundation for the modern Taiwan as an independent country/rebelious province (Depending on how you see them), since Chiang-Kai-Shek didn't care about the remnants of National army and simply stole the money reserve for himself. Then Chiang-Kai-Shek arrived to Taiwan and Yan Xishan instantly lost his position, and was forgotten to history by most. A man who always made the best decision for the small province he controlled, willing even to cooperate with the Japanese in order to keep it prosperous and neutral, and who achieved many successes in his governship of both Shanxi and Taiwan, earning the name of model governor for that previous achievement. Nowadays recognised by People's Republic of China as a governor who made correct decisions in stopping a plague that was spreading in Shanxi and into other regions of China.
