JAPAN SURRENDERS
Japan goes down to crushing defeat, her dream of Empire and of world conquest completely shattered to bits.
America, her fleet badly crippled at Pearl Harbor, quickly geared her efforts to wage a war of offence in Europe, and a defensive leap-frog campaign in the vast Pacific.
Brilliant sea victories at Coral Sea and Bismarck Sea stalled the "Tokio Express" headed for a conquest of Australia. The victory at Midway saved Hawaii and other U. S. defence zones. After Bataan, a succession of island victories begins--Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Tarawa, Kwajalein, Saipan, Guam, the Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Spectacular Kamikaze suicide defences are futile.
Allied air fleets, co-ordinating with the other two military arms, begin strategic bombing of the Jap homeland, which starts the Japs reeling. Allied naval fleets boldly steam off Japan's coastline; their carrier planes and naval guns create utter ruin and destruction.
From the Potsdam Conference, Japan is told to surrender, or else. The "or else" proves to be America's prize secret weapon--the Atomic Bomb which levels war plant areas and kills thousands. Russia declares war and invades Manchuria. The combination of events proves too much for the enemy. Japan sues for peace.
