jul 26, 1945 - Allies demand Japan’s surrender or warned of facing destruction

Description:

Months after Nazi Germany’s defeat, the US, UK and China came together to discuss their final opponent. Japan was persistent in fighting in the Pacific, while almost all battles in Europe were done and fought. Armed with a devastating new bomb, the US, along with UK and China, declared Japan to surrender. They reasoned Japan should completely stop the fighting and reform the government or face total annihilation.
