#2 VERSIES

TOPIX > VARIOUS > SOVIET ATTACK TRUMPED A-BOMB ROLE: HISTORIAN, as per 1945 surrender of Japan.

ARTIC > Histor argues that Tokyo steadfastly believed it could successfulyy hold out agz the oncoming US invasion of Japan as long as it still controlled MANCHURIA + KOREA [econ resources] wid its 1.0MILYUHN-MAN IJA there. Stalin + the Soviet Army's mass attack agz Japanese mainland mil forces all but destroyed JAPAN'S WAR-SUSTAINING ECON LINKS TO MAINLAND ASIA, + hence is argued to be the real cataylst for induc Japan's 1945 formal surrender, notsomuch the US atomic bombings, since Japan could longer hope to negotiate any kind of BILATERAL ARMISTICE/TRUCE = PRO-JAPAN "CONDITIONAL" END TO THE WAR, AS OPPOS TO "UNCONDITIONAL" SURRENDER.
