one of the greatest death tolls traceable to the japanese war of aggression comes from mao taking power in china,and wiping out a generation of free thinking chinese,and making a life of terror for another two generations.
the west in all decency could not continue to fuel the japanese war machine with the supplies needed to turn china into a 'nanking style' atrocities camp.
took a while,but the yanks were damned if they supplied the japanese with war materials,and damned if they did not.
the japanese were not keen on unconditional surrender,for a while they were happy on peace in the pacific,giving up a few fly speck islands to stop having to fight the americans,but wanted to keep the slave territories onland asia.
