Like ancient Sparta, not in their nature.
Japan did not surrender during World War 2 because it is not in the Japanese fighting man's makeup to surrender, even when they cannot win. They will fight until they die. Even when they gave up, they never used the word surrender.

They didn't know about the atomic bomb. They still though they could kick our a..... Look what happened on the Battan death march. They had no respect for Americans.

PS I will gladly remove any offensive word, but inflammatory? Come on that was a real war. They didn't pussy foot around or worry about PC language. I know guys who were in that war. Try talking to them. See what they had to say.

A good friend of mine was a B29 mechanic. One day he saw something that he had never seen before. He saw a bomb that was so big that it would not even fit under a B29. They had to dig a pit for the bomb and then pull the B29 over it in order to load it. There were a lot of extra guards around. At the time he did not know what it was. It was the atomic bomb.

Correction - The Japanese thought their bombing of Pearl Harbor had destroyed our whole Pacific fleet. They also controlled most of the Pacific theatre, making them one of the largest extended empires in history. However, they did not know the power of our industrialism or the extent of the Manhattan Project's work. They assumed that our war efforts were tied up in other areas of the world and an attack on Japan seemed very implausible. They saw the Americans and moreover the American Federal Government as too weak and ineffective to respond to attacks on home soil. In conclusion, our quick reaction in the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, caused an even quicker surrender on the part of the Japanese due to the fear of their nation being extinguished from history altogether from our Atomic Bombs.

You will need to decide if it was bad, (it killed a lot of people) or something that had to be done. Japan attacked the US without warning, and had been at war with the US for about 3 years and 9 months. The US had demanded the surrender of Japan, and Japan had refused. After two atomic weapons were dropped, Japan decided to surrender.


Did Japan refuse to surrender after the bombing of Hiroshima?

No, Japan didn't immediately refuse after the bombing of Hiroshima. After the bombing, Emperor Hirohito (the Japanese leader during the Second World War) went into consultation with the Imperial War Council (of Japan) where they were deciding whether or not to surrender. However, three days after the bombing of Hiroshima, America bombed Japan again, this time in Nagasaki. Roughly a week after the Nagasaki bombing, Emperor Hirohito on 15 August 1945 announced surrender via radio broadcast. He officially surrendered in written agreement later that year on 2 September 1945.
