The over-riding concern for the United States was to minimize American lives. After the conquering of Okinawa, that killed and wounded over 40,000 marines and soldiers, it was felt that the Japanese would inflict as many casualties as possible when invading the Japanese mainland. American and British military leaders were afraid that over 1,000,000 allies would be killed defeating the Japanese. That was totally unacceptable. The vast majority of the American people and military, had little sympathy for the Japanese people after Pearl Harbor.
