In 1945 what concern did the Allies have about invading the Japanese mainland with ground forces?
In 1945, the Allies were deeply concerned that an invasion of the Japanese mainland would result in massive casualties on both sides due to Japan's determined defense and the potential for fierce resistance from Japanese troops and civilians. Military planners estimated that an invasion could lead to hundreds of thousands of Allied deaths and injuries. Additionally, the Allies feared the possibility of Japan employing desperate measures, such as using kamikaze tactics or chemical weapons, which could exacerbate the conflict and increase the human toll. These concerns ultimately contributed to the decision to use atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to expedite Japan's surrender.
