The Endgame against Japan
Estimates varied on American casualties. Between 400,000 to 1,200,000
The desire to bring Soviet help into the war led to concessions at Yalta
Japanese resistance on Okinawa had been very fierce and the assumption was that it would be fiercer in Japan
Bombing toll against Japan
Firebombing of Tokyo (3/45): 100,000 deadBy 6/45, 40% of the area of Japan’s six
largest cities (Tokyo, Nagoya, Kobe, Osaka, Yokohama and Kawasaki) had been leveled.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were chosen because they hadn’t been extensively fire-bombed yet.
Hiroshima: 140,000 dead by the end of the year
Nagasaki: 80,000 dead by the end of the year
