Hawk, the USA would have been able to nuke Japan and Germany into submission so I think Japan was doomed to lose from the beginning [as feared by the Japanese admiral - I forget his name, who feared all they had done was wake a sleeping giant, or some such]. That wasn't known in the desperate days, but the fact that the nuclear bombs were developed when they were sealed the deal. < unlike many people who seem to think WWII was an inevitable win, it was quite the contrary. It was a desperate struggle, with the tide of the war actually being more a matter of incredible luck and miscalculations on the part of Hitler and Tojo. > Germany also would have been rolled back by nukes, if the USA wished it, and didn't think that having a Europe-wide Germany might be a good idea to oppose Russia, which might not have been fully defeated. So, I suspect there never was going to be a 1000 year Riech and Nihon Co-Prosperity Sphere. Good riddance. Mqurice
