The Japanese soldiers (and people) were taught that the worst thing they could do was surrender. Thus whole families committed suicide, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese fought to the death rather than allow themselves to be taken prisoner. Peace and cease fire overtures were always rejected by the Japanese, who were willing to sacrifice every person living on the islands during an invasion.
