Germany itself was split in two and West Europe actually went to the Allied powers. In the Pacific Rim, we have Japan still going on, so eventually the United States, through the Manhattan Project, developed the atomic bomb and we dropped our only two in Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, exterminating the lives of hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children in order to push Japan and the Emperor into submission. The reason why we dropped them, I think there's many faceted reasons, including the Cold War that was developing, the money that was put into the project itself, and the idea that we wanted to be a superpower. But also the idea of an invasion being really, really catastrophic, human geography. Japan, rugged coastline, mountains and all that kind of thing going on, so it's not like we could invade like in France on the beach. We'd have to be climbing mountains and getting shot. So really what we have now is just the effects to deal with, and we've already mentioned a few of them.
