I would just say, quick Japanese surprise attacks, and slow advancement of the Allies. Americans never had an easy fight, resistance was always big and USA lost many of their soldiers. Japanese fanatically fought for the emperor, which explains why years after the war ended there were still Japanese soldiers entrenched on the islands in the pacific and waiting for the battle. The Japanese just didnt want to surrender. If there wasnt Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the fighting would surely continue for months, if not years!
