Three factors forced the Japanese into defeat. The final factors were the nuclear strikes against Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This made the Japanese calculus a choice between the end game of a Soviet or American invasion of the home islands. The Japanese instrument of surrender however allowed them to avoid full either and retain their leadership (Emperor Hirohito) by becoming subject to American military administration under MacArthur.

Could do with more information! But, at a guess, when America came to the aid of Britain and her commonwealth allies, America brought her production might and manpower to Europe.
