Without nuclear weapons during World War II, the United States would have been no match for Japan. Would the Japanese have driven the Americans back to Europe?

Without nuclear weapons there would be no Japanese people, or very few. Japan itself, would have looked like several chunks of bio-char. It’s that simple. American forces were scheduled to land on the Japanese Island of Kyushu, on November 1st, 1945 and would have, had the nuclear bombs not been dropped on August 6th, and 9th, 1945.

On March 9th 1945, nearly six months before the A-bombs were dropped, General Curtis LeMay, (picture below) ordered Tokyo to be fire bombed with incendiary bombs because of the inflammatory nature of the building material their homes were made of. Below, the pictures of Tokyo’s aftermath, after that night’s bombing.

On April 1st 1945, American forces invaded Okinawa and 82 days later, on June 22nd 1945, Japanese forces surrendered, after Japanese commanding General Mitsuru Ushijima, and his chief of staff, Isamu Cho, committed ritual suicide.

General Curtis LeMay, intended moving the B-29 bombers, from Tinian Island to Okinawa. Japan is less that 400 miles from Okinawa. He intended to firebomb Japan, continuously, day and night.

The people who would have been lucky enough to run away from the fire bombing, would have starved to death. Those who had food, would have frozen to death, if Japan was still fighting, when the winter of 1945 came. I know It sound NUTS, when I say the Japanese were lucky that America A-bombed, them.

More people lived, because Truman ordered “Little Boy” and “Fatman” dropped, than would have survived, if just fire bombing would have continued until the Japanese would considered unconditional surrender.

Drive them back to Europe? They bombed Pearl Harbor, in December 1941, and went on offense. Six months later, the Japanese Imperial Navy intended to drive the Americans back at Midway Island, and into the Pacific ocean. Instead four of their finest aircraft carriers, were sent to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, where they still are to this day. The Japanese military went on defense after Midway and stayed there until the war ended.

American fighter pilots from the, USS Yorktown, USS Enterprise. (The USS Hornet pilots flew the wrong way and missed the first bombing.) American pilots, who were low on fuel, spotted the Japanese Carriers, Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu who were reloading their fighter planes for another bombing run at Midway Island.

The pilot’s spotted those freshly painted red balls painted on the Japanese Carrier decks and used them for targets, in less than ten minutes, three of Japan’s finest Aircraft carriers, exploded into firebombs.

The Hiryu slipped away and later that afternoon, their pilot’s spotted the Yorktown and caused it heavy damage, when the Hiryu pilots returned to their ship, they discovered it was ablaze. Why do you think the Americans would have been no match for the Japanese, Liu, are you smoking weed? Drive them to Europe? No, it must be something stronger than weed.
