Yup, that was the German-Russian non-aggression act, until it wasn't. Rules are meant to be broken?
Hitler broke the neutrality pact between Japan and Russia? Russia waited till the very end to declare war with japan. Didn't the Japanese stop at the Russian borders when they were making their way through China and Mongolia?
It's confusing but both pacts were broken yes. If Japan did invade Russia at the time, the Soviets would not have been strong enough to hold them back. The war would've looked entirely different.
There was a third option; accept their conditional surrender.
But as I said before, meh. Fuck Imperial Japan.
So the Japanese were saved from the gulags by god damn USA American Atomic bombs?
Edit - disregard i took you out of context

Oh and guys we've been calling H bombs but it appears that they were Atomic bombs.
Also this business about no one anticipating the damage? The Abomb replicates nuclear fision and was already tested in new Mexico in the trinity tests.
So Wikipedia tells me. Trinity was in July 45 Hiroshima was a month later.

That is a good question to ask.
I rescinded my comment asshole hahaha
That's correct. The first nukes were dirty fission bombs, using radioactive material at critical mass to create a chain reaction.
H bombs are fusion bombs, creating a chain reaction by fusing hydrogen atoms to create helium. It should be a lot cleaner except they generally use a fission stage to kick start the fusion.
Yes, the trinity test let them know what was going to happen. There was a bit if speculation, from nothing to igniting the atmosphere, but they generally knew the amount if energy that was going to be released.
Their navy had been eradicated or penned in. Although they were entrenched in spots they had no capacity to coordinate any large strategic offensive.
Basically they were fucked barring a clean up job. It's on that clean up job the propaganda for dropping the bombs hangs. The bombs were of no military significance, the only aims they achieved were psychological.
Yeah excess energy from fusion is how the sun emitslight yeah? 4 hydrogen atoms become 3 helium atoms? To put it crudely?
Wanna see who can recite the periodic table faster? Im good up to neon lol
2 hydrogen atoms (1 proton each) fuse to create 1 helium atom (2 protons).
Yes the sun is an example of nuclear fission.
All these posts when all that needs to be said is Truman unzipped his pants, took out his big ole star spangled dick, and waived it at the Soviets to let them know that like the Wu Tang Clan, the USA ain't nuttin to fuck wit.
The is fusion not fission right or other way around as you said?
Why do people keep saying "H-Bombs?"
It's simply not a correct description of Fat Man (replica pictured) or Little Boy, the two ATOMIC bombs dropped on Japan to end WWII. They were both A-Bombs.
The first hyrdrogen bomb was tested in 1949.

Yes, fusion. Fission requires heavy, radioactive material, like plutonium and uranium.
Thanks for the correction. I've always used the terms indiscriminately thinking they were of similar kind.Why do people keep saying "H-Bombs?"

H bombs contain an A bomb as its the only ignition method available.
