Who had a better chance of winning world war 2?
After the defeat of Germany most of the Allied resources were focused on Japan. Russia was threatening to join the invasion forces and it would have been a bloody end to the war if the Allies had actually been forced to invad Japan. The Emperor of Japan was pretty determined to control the islands of the Pacific. He and his military advisors hoped that defeat would only mean that Japan would have to pull back for a few years then they could attempt again to invade the islands of the Pacific. Japan had to be forced into surrender to prevent them from making another attempt. Initially, the Emperor refused to surrender in hopes of getting "more favorable" terms. The Allied forces did not want to deal with a Japanese invasion force again so the requirement was that Japan agree to unconditional surrender. The end of the war was strictly a matter of determining how the surrender would be resolved.
