<I think both sides came to regret their mutual mis-reading of the situation.> I suppose that is the case in most cases of conflict. If one side correctly reads the situation, they might avoid the outcome. If both correctly read the situation, it would be excellent and conflict would be avoided.

Japan wouldn't have bothered bombing Pearl Harbour.

Adolf wouldn't have bothered invading Poland. Or USSR.

USA wouldn't have got into Vietnam. Or Iraq.

Japan would have unconditionally surrendered long before they did and before Hiroshima. And before Nagasaki.
