why did japan surrender vietnam in 1945?

Question

What reasons did they surrender vietnam for. Vietminh movements?

Answer 1

Japan followed the Potsdam Declaration.

But lots of Japanese soldiers stayed in Vietnam even after 1945.
They were asked from local Viet Minh soldiers to teach how to fight and they established military school along with Japanese Imperial army school.
Those Japanese soldiers fought the First Indochina War together.

Their sons and daughters (half Japanese), who were born in from 1945 to 1954 (1954 was the year of Geneva Conference), still live in Vietnam.

8 Japanese ex-soldiers were honored with their contributions from Vietnam Government in 1986.

There is no/few records regarding this in the western world (in English).


BTW, following is another story about Japan and S.E.A. This is also very interesting.

Answer 2

Japan had nearly 2 million troops fighting in Manchuria and China and trapped on small pacific attolls. They were cut of from rubber, tin, coal and iron due to an effective American blockade. Also the fact that they lost their navy was a big factor too. What finally broke them was the use of atomic weaponry

Answer 3

Have you even cracked open a history book?? Basedon the number of Vietnam questions, I'd say not. Japan left due to loosing WW2.

Answer 4

Japan didn't "surrender" anything during WW2, they lost everything, even their Northern most islands, they're still fighting with Russia, diplomatically of course, over the right to get them back with Russia saying, they won them fair and square. However, here to, they took over the islands after the war and, this was overlooked too by everyone.

Answer 5

Because the US dropped a pair of nukes on them, forcing them into near unconditional surrender. So of course the victors took away the empire they built during WWII.
