The above article claims to refute the common narrative that the use of nuclear weapons in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were justified in order to prevent the far greater loss of life from the prospective Operation Downfall. It claims that the Allied powers could have negotiated a Japanese surrender provided that they did not mandate the transition away from an imperial system in the Potsdam Proclamation and that, as such, a peaceful conclusion to the Pacific theatre of WWII was a historical possibility. How accurate is this analysis?
