Were the atom bombs the main reason for surrender?
According to these Stanford and MIT professors[1][2], later released docs show that it was known that it was well-known that the main condition the Japanese wanted was that no harm would come to the emperor and that Truman finally signaled he would abide by this only after the two bombs were dropped.
Please change "Jewel Voice Broadcast" to Hirohito surrender broadcast, per the revent move of that page (because Jewel Voice Broadcast is, it turns out, a 2006 Wikipedia user-spawned neologism).

Incorrect info under Further surrenders and resistance
Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Under the section titled "Further surrenders and resistance", the last sentence reads:
"Some may never have heard of it. Teruo Nakamura, the last known holdout, emerged from his hidden retreat in what was now independent Indonesia in December 1974, while two other Japanese soldiers, who had joined Communist guerrillas at the end of the war, fought in southern Thailand until 1991."
...that last bit of information in bold is incorrect. The two Japanese men fought in Malaysia, not Thailand, and they returned to Japan in early 1990, not 1991. 166.181.80.38 (talk) 09:55, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
