did dropping the atomic bombs prevent japan from the soviet union?

Question

or was it that if soviet gained power in japan the US might get an attack from the soviet = ="

Answer 1

Please rephrase the question, I don't understand.

Answer 2

Your question is not well formed, but in relation to the Japanese and the Soviet Union, the relevant action during the same timeframe was that the Soviets (it is believed) had - a few weeks earlier managed to begin to reassemble many of the western armoured and army divisions along the frontier in Eastern Asia.

See timeline : http://www.nuclearfiles.org/menu/timeline/1940/1945.htm

On May 31, 1945, the Japanese through the Portugese consultate sought surrender with the only condition being that it not be "called" unconditional surrender but that it may in fact be an unconditional surrender - more generous terms were eventually granted - after the weapons were utilized.

On August 6, 1945 the bombing of Hiroshima took place.

Russia formally declared war on Japan on August 8, 1945 attacking elements in Manchuria and at sea in the Pacific.

On August 9, 1945, the bombing of Nagasaki took place.

On August 13, 1945, Japanese scientists determine radiation is to be found at Nagasaki.

On August 14, 1945, Japan surrenders informally to the Allied forces.

On August 24, 1945, Japan's main Manchurian Army surrenders to Russian forces.

On Sept. 2, 1945 , Japan formally surrenders to the Allied forces.

It is historically probably fair to say that this combination of events - the bombings and the entry into war by Russia was the most immediate cause. HOWEVER, strong debate has lingered and probably always will since it is the case that either russian or US events on their own would probably have caused the same outcome.

Interestingly the alternative / potential case of a prolonged conventional war did have a distinct disadvantage from both the US and Japanese perspective. Russian occupation was not considered a desirable outcome by either power.

Had the atomic weapons not been used and Japan not surrendered as quickly as was done, or hostilities been significantly prolonged, Russia and the US might have made landfall and divided up the Home Islands of Japan.

Hokkaido Island at least would almost certainly have gone to the Russians in a such a mixed occupation.

Answer 3

Yes, I believe the prompt and orderly surrender after the atomic bombs were dropped spared Japan from Soviet occupation. It's worth remembering that the United States gave about 40 ships and training on how to use them to the Soviet Navy in the spring of 1945. Those ships were intended to be used by the Soviets to invade Japan. The USSR would have invaded Hokkaido, while US/Commonwealth forces landed on Honshu. It's reasonable to assume that would have lead to Japan being a divided country like Germany.

Answer 4

The Soviet Union was waiting for their allies to settle the war with Japan. They opportunisticly confiscated islands by entering the war just before its end. It seems that Russia lost a very embarrassing war with Japan (American President Theodore Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating the peace, especially since Russia was losing badly). The Soviet Union was not in much of a position to do much to stop Japan before that. Japan set up a puppet state in Manchuria that attacked Siberia in the 1930s, so a neutrality treaty was negotiated in 1941. Gerhard L. Weinberg wrote of the ongoing negotiations mostly to keep the Americans allied with Russia from setting up bases for bombers to attack Japan (634). Sakhalin island was negotiated away to entice Soviet neutrality in regard to the conflict with Japan.

So Japan had already, indirectly, attacked the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union quickly realized their disadvantage. After the 1941 truce and a reaffirmation in 1943, Japan could concentrate on more important matters--us.

Answer 5

The bomb prevented the US from having to invade Japan to force a surrender. Japan was not prepared to surrender even though they had been beaten back with some of their territory having been conquered though not the mainland. The bomb made it possible to force the surrender without having to invade the mainland.
The bomb forced the Soviets to qualm any ideas about going head to head with the US. Though Patton was right, we should have attacked the Soviet Union while we were the only ones with atomic power.

Answer 6

I don't have any idea what it is you are asking, but yes ! Dropping
the Atomic bomb on Japan prevented from the Soviet Union.
Okay?

Answer 7

...prevent japan from ??? the soviet union?

It's called a library. You might try using it instead of asking others to do your homework for you.

Answer 8

the genuine reason became to deter the Russians. The allies knew the top of WWII became close to hand, so Japan became no longer the final purpose. the US became looking previous Japan, to deter the Russians from seizing extra land and materials. Rebuilding Europe became going to be the huge form one priority after the conflict. the US became sending a sign to Russia, to no longer get grasping in eastern and Western Europe i.e. Germany. This answer became introduced via a jap respectable while conversing on the subject remember of jap subculture throughout WWII. the jap have been thinking resign, yet became no longer allowed of their cluture. the relationship between the US and Russia became very tenuous. the US did no longer like Stalin or Lenin, yet had to best pal to defeat Germany.

Answer 9

do you mean prevent Japan from "taking" the Soviets? if so then no Japan would've got their AZZes kicked

Answer 10

Prevent them from what?
Actually, the war was already a foregone conclusion, it was over. Japan was defeated and was like the wounded dog still snapping at the wind. The bomb stopped them in their tracks. It was excessive, but probably, because of its intensity has prevented other countries from repeating it.
