If Japan possess nuclear bomb just like US during WW2 who will win the war how long the war would be ?

Answer 1

I was in Japan and I asked about nuclear bomb.

1. They say it was ok because if they have had it they whould had used because there was a war.
2. They could have won the war if they had the bomb before USA... just on Pacific but enough because it was what japaneses wanted. USA priority was in fact the European side of the war against Hitler. For this become a success they would have needed that all the movements must take place in short time before USA has a bomb.
3. If they have the bomb at the same time that USA may be more deaths but same result as today.

Hope this short answer is what you need and if it so check it as best.

Answer 2

It depends on when they got the bomb. If at the same time as us then we would win. The Japanese didn't have a means of delivery. There only 4 engine bomber had a performance similar to a B-17. Not enough range or carrying capacity. Early A-bombs weighed 10 tons or more. Only a B-29 can carry that load. The japs could have nuked a harbor by putting a bomb in a sub. We probably would have sunk this sub because we were reading there codes. We there fore knew what there military was up to.

Answer 3

IF Japan had the Nuclear bomb they would have used it on us. There is no question of that! They started bombing us before even declaring war. Nuclear bombs only take days to destroy a country, With out people to kill its hard to keep a war going, At the lease we declared war on them before we dropped the bomb
IF we had not use the bomb on them we would be eating rice cakes today. They started it we finished it.

Answer 4

Had they been some years in the previous with their technologies, and made smarter strategic strikes extremely then attempting to triumph over the two the eastern and western fronts concurrently they easily might have. Their jet technologies entered the conflict too previous by using be a element. 2 years faster and that they might have posed a severe thread interior the air. Turning on Russia as quickly as they did substitute right into a mistake. besides, any hazard they had to salvage the errors substitute into lost by applying pushing as annoying as they did as quickly as they did. somebody neglected the memo relating to the climate and Russian winters. somebody back neglected the memo relating to the strategic importance (or loss of) of particular cities. They unfold their troops too skinny around the Russian frozen tundra, took cities of lesser importance based off of Hitlers own own time table, and weren't equipped for the wintry climate. Thirdly their atomic software got here close yet substitute into ultimately interrupted adequate and at the back of schedule that the U. S. substitute into able to capture up and surpass them. even however Germany has already surrendered formerly the U. S. had to apply fat guy and Little Boy on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the two the U. S. and German courses performed roles past in the process the conflict. It boils down genuinely to timing. it extremely is frightening what might have been.

Answer 5

Only outright simpletons think that it is enough for a country to have an H- bomb for it to destroy the major powers US, UK etc.

Firstly, they will need several such bombs. Secondly, how will they deliver them and why should they do so, if it will ensure their own utter destruction?

Why do some people think that they are the only sane ones in the world, while leaders of countries are suicidal idiots? Even Hitler who was definitely mad, did not use poison gas or germ warfare, because he knew he would come out worse.

Please stop your idiotic questions which expose the pitifully low level of your intelligence

Answer 6

You have to be specific on when the Japanese would have had a fission bomb. In 1941? Or 1945?

There wasn't a wealth of weapons grade material back in the day (uranium enrichment in its infancy) and certainly not any sort of delivery system capable of a long-distance strike from across the Pacific. If the Japanese had the bomb in 1941, with four they could have taken Honolulu, Seattle, San Francisco, and San Diego, depriving the entire Pacific Fleet of repair facilities, fuel depots, munitions, and supplies required to sustain combat operations for any duration. With the United States struggling to sustain a naval presence defending convoys in the Battle of the Atlantic, running short on ships, even a fraction of such damage would have proved catastrophic to efforts in fighting a war in the Pacific. Whether or not the Japanese would have done such a thing is entirely different; their entire war with the United States was an afterthought, accelerated by the embargo the United States levied on Japan in the wake of the Japanese invasion of French Indochina. Such far-reaching plans were certainly not in consideration, even in fantasy. What they would have done in 1945 is pure conjecture, as the Japanese were so thoroughly on the ropes they resorted to attempting to distill pine sap for use as aviation fuel. What they would, or more to the point, could, have done with an atomic weapon is up for grabs. Perhaps they would have used a kamikaze platform or one of their remaining submarines in an effort to destroy an American carrier task force, or perhaps something more adventurous. Fortunately for the world, we will never know.

The “no Air Force” argument is erroneous and idiotic. Japan had an excellent Naval Air Arm and Carrier Task Forces (called “Mobile Strike Forces”) and had the reach to strike anywhere in the Pacific during the early years of the war – witness Attu, or the Battle of the Coral Sea. Nothing states that an atomic bomb has to be air-delivered, either.

The Japanese did not have enough ground forces to seize Hawaii even if they had desired so. The decades-old land war with China required the vast majority of Japanese fighting men. Japanese Naval Infantry was an ill-equipped force that was not capable of amphibious operations; its primary role was static defense, as in Tarawa.

Keep in mind also that the United States did not possess aircraft capable of hitting the Japanese home islands with relative impunity until the advent of the B-29; and even this required the seizure of bases in the Marianas, before range considerations entered a safety margin that made missions both survivable and effective.

As for those of you who answered this question and confused the past with the present, the questioner specifically stated this was a Second World War hypothesis. It would be the 50s before there were enough nuclear weapons on any side to bring about any sort of “retaliation” approximating MAD. Reread the question.

The question itself is interesting, but it really is impossible to gauge how long the war would have been based on the entry of one weapon, limited even in its destructive force. I for one am glad the question is pure fantasy, not history, and nothing more.

As for commentary like this ...

"IF we had not use the bomb on them we would be eating rice cakes today. They started it we finished it. "

It is the height of stupidity to assume that in 1945, with most of the industrial base of Japan burnt out by firebombs, the home islands blockaded and strangled, and most of the remaining fighting men fighting a hopeless land war in China, that we would be "eating rice cakes" had we not resorted to use of two, not one, two atomic bombs to prevent the necessity of an invasion of Japan proper.

Questions sometimes give rise to the sort of intellectual maggot that doesn't have a background in the subject matter, but is more than happy to throw out some nonsensical answer based on having watched something like the "History Channel" half-asleep, mouth hanging open and drooling over the couch.

For the love of humanity, phrase the question better, please.

Answer 7

Questions for your question. How would they deliver it? They have no Air Force. They might deliver one on an airliner, but the retaliatory strike would remove japan from the face of the Earth. The war would last about two hours. Long enough for the battle damage estimates to be made.

Answer 8

They didn't, so who cares?

The better question is what would have happened if Japan had invaded Hawaii with ground troops after Pearl Harbor, forcing the US to fight the war from bases on the US Mainland.

Answer 9

The Japs would have Nuked Pearl Harbor and the west coast and won a short war

I saw this site. It talks about nuclear war and says that it will come Sept. 12, 2006.
Whether you believe it or not the site is interesting.
You may believe or just have a laugh.
