...on Japan during WWII? I'm writing a history "What if" paper and need some ideas. The directions say:
1.) How would it change WWII
2.) How would the world be different
3.) how would the U.S. be different

Any help would be great!!
Thanks
 
1. WWII would have gone on longer and the U.S. invasion of Japan from that point would have been drawn out and bloody on both sides.
2. If the U.S. was successful in taking over Japan, there would have a period of time in Japan of more predominant U.S. occupation.
3. The United States might have many more Japanese people immigrate to our country in much the same way that many Indians immigrated to the UK after their occupation of India.
 
The world wouldn't be appreciably different, because the Allies were going to win the war in any case - but the war would have gone on for considerably longer than it did, had the Abomb not been used.
The US would not be any different - nor would any of the other Allied countries.
 
They said the war was pretty much over before the Bomb.
Yeah I know a lot of people said it would have cost a lot of American lives, but the thing is the Japanese were running out of supplies, we could have waited them out.
So I'm guessing USA government wanted to see their new toy in action, that pretty much was the only reason to use it.

1. It wouldn't have changed the out come of the war.
2. Had we not used it, we would have had another war right after it, probably with the Russians.
3. The USA would have been seen as sissy's for not using it, and someone would have used it on us.
