how did emperor Hirohito feel when the americans dropped the atomic bomb?

Answer 1

I imagine he felt as if the japanese military had failed Japan. They sold the emperor a bill of goods that Japan would be victorious; they were not. After the dropping of the two atomic bombs, the emperor felt compelled to interfere with Japanese politics, something which he rarely, if never, did. He forced the military to surrender to the Americans and end world war II.

Hope this helps.

Have a nice day.

Answer 2

Although Hirohito was reportedly silent, we know that the Japanese military warmachine was the driving force behind the Japanese ferocity, not the Japanese royalty. Hirohito never supported the war, but he believed in preserving tradition. He also knew that the only way to preserve the Japanese monarchy was to to aggravate the general staff nor try to instill an uprising through middle officers. Remember, Hirohito was not Hitler; Tojo (the head ultranationalist Japanese General) was the closest counterpart.

Hirohito believed that Japan should have surrendered in bowing to the inevitable. Earlier, he thought his country should never have brought the war on to begin with, but now that there was no possible way for them to come back, he ardently supported surrender (even travelling to Moscow to request peace with the allies).

Answer 3

specific, -It ended the conflict right now, stored lot's of money - stored tens of millions of the two US and jap lives accepted if an invasion of mainland Japan have been to ensue, with the way the jap might use the final guy, lady and newborn to shield the rustic to the very final hut or cave, we'd have had to truly tear down each city, village and the forests and bombard their mountains to hell. -Incase the U. S. invasion might have failed, think of of what might of got here approximately to the jap if the Soviets invaded, then Japan could have been communist and tens of millions extra might have died there. it quite is unhappy and terrible that we had to bomb civilian cities inspite of the undeniable fact that it replaced into the only way we could get the jap to supply up without an all out invasion!

Answer 4

Japan had already offered a surrender on the condition that they be allowed to keep their emperor. We said no, we wanted unconditional surrender, and bombed them. Then let them keep their emperor. The bombs were a signal to the soviets that we'd pwnz0r them if they tried anything postwar. Yep, we killed hundreds of thousands in the name of politics.
