At the end of the Second World War, the Emperor Herohito drafted all the citizens of Japan into the Japanese armed forces and ordered all of them to do everything in their power to murder American servicemen, and initiated a training regiment to teach these "people" to use household implements to accomplish this goal.

Thus, it is likely that the moment our Marines stepped foot on Japanese soil, they would have been confronted with massive, but disorganized, attacks by remaining Japanese regular military personnel, and these irregular forces that the Emperor was creating. This is similar to what occurred on Okinawa and would have likely lead to a similar result, namely an eventual US victory and massive causalities on the Japanese side.

Even by the most positive estimates, it is likely that such an invasion would have resulted in Japanese causalities eighteen times higher then that inflicted by our two atomic bombs, not to mention the additional US causalities.

Also, at the end of the war, Japanese forces still occupied Manchuria and the Russians were beginning to invade this area. Had the war not come to an end when it did, the Russians would have occupied this land, and likely not left.

Thus, the end result would be largely the same but would have involved higher causalities on both sides.

WWII would have ended much the same -- bloodier on the Japanese side
and left a crippled Japan. Regrettably, the Russians would have developed
the bomb starting with what they could from Nazi research &/or we would have.
Discounting the devlopement of nuclear weapons entirely, the Russians
would have their way and then eventually conquered all of Europe except for the use of weapons of mass destruction [chemicaland biological], while the
Chinese would have continued in Asia. We would eventually have had to
confront the Russians and Chinese and lost; however 2 things make this
scenario unrealistic: There is a God, and we do have nukes.

For WW2, it just would have taken longer for us to defeat Japan, and it would have been a lot bloodier. It's difficult to judge what might happen after that, because without an atom bomb, or the fear of being hit by one, the cold war might have seen more action without fear of Mutually Assured Destruction from both sides. All the countries that have atom bombs might have been attacked more, because every war would have been more conventional (without fear of any country suddenly having a city wiped out from an A-bomb).

Without the deterrent effect of the atomic bomb on both sides there would probably have been a World War III.

Both the Japaneese and American population would be much lower than it is now. There would have been hand to hand combat across the entire Japan homeland. There would have been mass suicide by the Japaneese women. At least that is what the American government wants us to think.

We would have finally won the war around 1947 with an additional 130,000 Americans dead and untold millions wounded.

It would have been much longer, sure we would have won but at a greater cost of life on both sides. maybe the cold war would not have happened but if we would have listened to Patton and taken out Russia after the defeat of Germany we would not have had a cold war either

Things could still be the same. No one will know. But I DO know that my grandfather would never have been rich. He worked on the Manhattan Project.

The Pacific conflict would have lasted longer but Japan's resources would have given out before ours so VJ would have occurred later with more dead American soldiers and ultimately, more dead Japanese.
