A deal for their unconditional surrender. Hitler had many chances.

Well considering the people committed this crime against the Japanese are considered founding fathers of modern China, I guess its because no one in power wanted to?

They fucking hung Tojo, and 6 other military leaders. Many other generals and admirals received life sentences and were too old that they just fucking died in jail. Isoroku Yamamoto wouldve been hung as well but the Americans shot him down while the guy was a passenger in a bomber.
All the generals - even the former generals- of the Kwantung Army were also hung. The sole controversial point in the whole issue was the immunity granted to Dr. Shiro Ishii, head of Unit 731.
A lot of people were executed. The only reason Hirohito survived was that his culpability was a matter of question (Emperors of Japan have always- ALWAYS- bitches of the military) and his position as a cultural figurehead to the Japanese people.

Also to note Dr.Shiro Ishii was killed by throat cancer, meaning he suffered for every single second before he died, so I guess in the end even though justice didn't get to him, karma did.

The real issue when it comes to Hirohito isn't that he was a bitch of the military (he wasn't, see his rebukes against Showa Restoration attempts by the army), it's just that he was far enough removed such that he could claim plausible deniability. He was very much complicit either through directly allowing or doing nothing. The US gave him immunity in order to keep the peace in Japan, not out of some idea that he was not at fault or even that it was questionable.

Had to get the war over and US troops in Japan before the Soviets invade Japan. Which they barely managed, thanks to bad weather. Still didn't stop them from invading and occupying the Kuril Islands 6 days after the surrender.
Robert Russell
All this talk about a Soviet invasion sounds like complete bullshit to me. The Soviet navy didn't had the strength to support a force the size of the one the red army needed to secure a foothold in Japan, as well as the lack of experience in large scale amphibious operations since Europe and the far east were 80% land based theaters. If there was any doubt of this, the invasion of the Kurile islands proved it.

After the two nukes were dropped I think everyone was just looking for peace. I also believe the German executions have more to do with murdering millions of jews and throwing millions more in camps to starve more so than WW2 itself
