Because as brutal as they can be, ultimately the Japanese are a civilized society, and so when their sovereign and government officially surrender, so did the people.

I would imagine that it's a combination of two main factors, those being 1. The average jap was completely and utterly tired of fighting an unbeatable foe, and 2. The emperor was the almighty god of Japan. If the first time you heard the voice of your god was him telling you to surrender to the Americans, you'd do that.

Same reason the German "Werwolf" plan never materialised, there was no reason to.
The war was over.
Oliver Bell
this happened
David Gonzalez
this.
Poland, yugoslavia, french, russia,philippines, indochina, etc - they had guerilla movements becasue the japs and krauts were still fighting on other fronts. Fighting partisan war made sense, because the war was not yet decided. You would tie at least some kraut/jap forces , and make job a little bit esier for people that would eventually liberate you.
After WWII japs and krauts were aware that its over, there is no outside force that could help them.

Also because of how MacArthur handled it.

>unconditional surrender
Also, even though the Americans dropped two nukes on them they still let the Emperor live without and remain in place and they even offered to rebuild the country and gave them control over it again in 1952. Can't get much better than that after being bitter enemies just a few years earlier.

Because the Emperor ordered them to stand down.
Really. That's all there was to it.
Until then, no unit of the IJA had ever formally surrendered during the war. A shockingly-small numbers of individuals were taken prisoner, and a fair number of them were incapacitated and captured or shellshocked to the point where they could no longer physically resist.
That's why removing the Emperor was never actually a serious consideration; he was always going to walk from the moment we hit the first island or two and everybody fought to the death, because he was the only one who could order a surrender and make it stick.
And remember that he was perfectly fine with the IJA's plan to sacrifice 25% of their population to kill a million Americans and force us to "surrender" at the peace talks. It wasn't until Nagasaki, with the realization that we might have dozens of bombs rather than just one, when he finally threw in with the peace faction and stabbed the war faction in the back.

no it was cuz the Russians declared war on them.

Nagasaki may have been unnecessary as it took awhile for the Japanese government to grasp the magnitude of the devastation. The phone, telegraph, and wireless transmitters were all taken out by the blast and it wasn't until survivors started staggering out into areas where they still had comms that they began to realize what had happened. All they knew was that Hiroshima had gone quite and that handfuls of people coming from it were raving about a light brighter than a thousand suns.They hadn't yet gotten their own teams in to make a first-hand assessment until after the 2nd bomb was dropped.
Gavin Jackson
Not exactly insurgents, but there were Japanese military units that kept fighting after the war because they thought the news of the surrender was an Allied trick. The most extreme example was a soldier named Hiroo Onoda.

>So the French are uncivil?
The French massacre each other with such regularity when they are not fleeing those that wish to massacre them they have never discovered civility, having butchered anyone and everyone who tried to gently introduce it including their own artistocracy, intelligentsia, clergy and middle class as well as anyone who went to church on a Sunday or had a small farm because aside from a dying language they are not actually a nation. Napoleon 1 tried his best and Napoleon 3 tried gain but both were deposed by Prussians when the French ran away who were even more guttural and lacking in civility. subsequently the French went on to operate a brutal and savage linguistic empire and continued running away from the Prussians, who had taken over what we call Germany. They sepent so much of their history murdering each other and feeing Prussians that they never had a chance to either evolve civility or a workable modern language. Their main occupation these days is killing people in darkest Africa and forcing African t speak French while expropriating wealth from borderline starving nations in tribute so as French civil servants can retire at 60. As pointless and cruel exercise as the rest of French history. They spend lot of their time these days destroying the EU by utilising their formalisation of their dead language in the EU commission as a method to introduce petty and spiteful French policies towards everyone else in Europe.

Reading comprehension doesn't seem to be your strong suit. even said "as brutal as they can be"
Civilized societies always have a brutal aspect to them, it's part of humanity, and they always commit atrocity.
Americans did some heinous shit during the Civil war, the Brits did some heinous shit to the Irish and Chinese, The Japanese did it to the Chinese and Koreans. Every civilized society has a history of barbaric acts as punctuation points in their history, but because it's not the normal way in which they interact is what makes them civilized. Whereas in places like the middle east, or subsaharan africa, every relationship is adversarial with the threat of violence underpinning the relationship, and so they aren't civilized.
See the difference?

Because the Emperor, who was pretty much a living god to the Japanese people, told them to surrender. Imagine if Jesus popped down to Washington D.C. and said "Yo peeps you gotta get out of Afghanistan". We'd be gone in a fucking day.
Daniel Powell
There was a Japanese pilot that was ordered to fly to Hiroshima a bit after Little Boy detonated over the city because there was complete radio silence and there was 10,000-20,000 Japanese troops stationed there at the time of the detonation so the silence puzzled them. He flew to the city and landed in a cleared out area and later reported that the city was completely gone, that it wasn't there anymore. Then Truman announced the bombing internationally hours later. When the Nagasaki bombing happened the Japanese HQ immediately knew it was another nuke, but kept news about it quiet from the populace.
Dylan Jenkins
The French "resistance" was not monolithic... if anything, the conflict in Occupied and Vichy France post 1940 were a reflection of a civil war within French society.

This. The Emperor told them to stand down and they complied as loyal subjects in the way of the Bushido.
They were more than willing to fight to the very end otherwise and the US knew that.

The Little Boy was nowhere near powerful enough to obliterate an entire city the size of Hiroshima.
William Cruz
It destroyed more than 90% of the city, the radius of destruction and subsequent firestorm was 1 mile, making a 2 mile diameter of structural destruction. It was estimated that 70,000 people were instantly killed, and another 30,000-50,000 were killed by radiation later. Within the first 1 mile diameter of the epicenter, only 50-60 buildings survived, but were barely standing. All that just from a 15kt air blast.
Logan Martin
Hiroshima is 350 sq. mi. fren. I don't think a shitty 15 kiloton bomb could destroy 315 sq, mi. of cityscape, nor do I think 2 mile diameter circle comes out to 315 sq. mil.
Blake Sanders
Metro population, no it couldn't wipe out the whole metro and outskirts of the city. What it did destroy was almost all of the city's infrastructure in actual city proper, effectively decapitating the entire city's industry in one strike and it also killed 1/3 of the entire 1945 metro population of Hiroshima, which was around 350,000 people before the bomb dropped. The pilot that landed there literally gave the report that the city was gone because it was essentially gone, 1 whole mile radius of wasteland with a couple dozen crumbling buildings left. The modern area of Hiroshima is much much larger than it was back in 1945. It took almost a decade to rebuild the city.
Henry Sullivan
Because the US would have made concentration camps look like a joke and Hirohito knew it. I don’t think you understand just how much of a murderboner there was towards the Japanese during WW2. They were beyond public enemy number one. But seriously, the emperor told them to stand down and that is exactly what they did.
Ryder Hughes
It destroyed the city center, in other words kinda like taking out downtown Manhattan from Wall Street to Soho. Now, Hiroshima being a small city in comparison, 2 mil. diameter area being wiped out was a big deal, but saying 90% of the city was gone has no relation to the truth whatsoever.
Justin Davis
Literally 90% of the actual city of Hiroshima was destroyed, metro regions are organized outlying populations that are not part of the actual city but interconnected to the city's commerce/industry. Three Little Boys would have been enough to completely annihilate the entire metro, and I imagine you'd only need 10-12 nukes to wipe out modern NYC and most of its metro population, which could fit one one MIRV missile. For comparison about how much easier it made things for the US, Little Boy killed nearly the same number of Japanese troops as the battle of Iwo Jima did with the only US casualties being a dozen POWs, and it also wiped out an entire city's infrastructure at the same time. The US had 3 more nukes ready before November of 1945.
Nolan Butler
Actually no, a small part of the actual city of Hiroshima was destroyed. Metro region =/= areas within city limits. Metro region describes the areas outside city limits.
3 little boys might have been enough to destroy the most built-up part of the city, but at that point what the hell are you even saying. You are literally just saying that 3 Little Boys can destroy an area the size of what 3 Little Boys can destroy.
Austin Gray
You are literally just validating my argument. Little Boy destroyed 90% of the city limits of Hiroshima. I have never said it destroyed 90% of *the metro population*. And this was based on joint Japanese and American surveys and studies during the occupation period.
Grayson Garcia
No, Little Boy destroyed something like an area of a circle with 2 mile diameter of a city that is 350 sq. mil. That's not 90% of the area within city limits. I'm not going to bother with the calculations, but likely less than 9%.

>Americans did some heinous shit during the Civil war, the Brits did some heinous shit to the Irish and Chinese,
Nigga how tf can you even compare the atrocities of the American civil war and the troubles to the fucking systematic rape, torture and murder carried out by the japs? like are you actually clinically retarded?
Even if the scale of Jap crimes wasn't multitudes larger and more horrific, the difference was that it was endorsed and systematic.
Maybe if the Union gang raped and killed half the southern women they cam across, then took the pretty ones back home to be sex slaves, killed children and pregnant women on a routine basis, used chemical weapons, experimented on live humans in ways that make SAW look mild and severely beat up then beheaded or stabbed too death all men they came across solider or not without any repercussions, it would be comparable but as it stands, no its fucking not.
>Whereas in places like the middle east, or subsaharan africa, every relationship is adversarial
Yeah ok we get it you havent traveled too the middleast and only know shit from liveleak videos, it might shock you too know hospitality is actually a valued thing in most Mid-east society's.
>every relationship is adversarial with the threat of violence underpinning the relationship,
Kinda like the one in Japan we're ill talking the "Emperor" or refusing to die for his stupid expansionism would shun your family and see you beheaded or murdered publicly?
nice meme
>anime reaction

checks out
look I hate the Chinese as well, but at the end of the day the shit the japs did was totally subhuman as well, I bet if there was hundreds of liveleak and best gore videos actually showing them doing the stuff they did you guys would change your "civilized" viewpoint in a heartbeat, in the same way best gore videos from Africa, Mexico, ISIS or China have the same "disgusting subhuman" effect on you now.
