Japanese leadership did not believe that the Americans were racially "pure" enough to endure their attack. They truly believed that we would just give up and let them take over the Pacific. The response from the Allied forces was far more than they expected. They believed that Germany would defeat the Allies in Europe, and that there would be little of the Allied military forces left to do battle in the Pacific. They learned what the U.S. and other Allied forces were capable of doing when the Japanese military effort was destroyed in every Pacific battle. They miscalculated again when they believed that the Allied forces would not be willing to occupy Japan. They wanted to force terms of surrender that would allow the Japanese military to remain intact and allow Japan to rebuild and take over the Pacific at a later time, after they had learned from their earlier mistakes. The Japanese military was willing to allow millions of Japanese citizens to die by sending them to their death, defending the Japanese beaches with pitchforks, swords and sticks against the invading Allied forces. The belief was that the Allies would not be willing to fight that battle and that the Japanese would remain soverign. Instead, the Allied forces were determined to win this war and never be required to fight it again. They had learned their lesson from Germany at the end of WW1 and vowed to make their enemy incapable of fighting at any time in the near future. Japan did not expect that reaction.
