same day soviets declare war on japan, invade manchuria. six days go by, emperor announces unconditional surrender. what happened? walk us through the six days to get the emperor to the point of surrender. >> a little context here. basically what you have to understand is to get japan to surrender was really two steps. someone with legitimate authority had to decide japan as a nation state would surrender. then japan's armed forces had to comply with that surrender. neither one of those steps was a certainty through most of 1945. the emperor makes the critical decision. he makes it in the afternoon of august 8, 1945 when he talks to the foreign minister and says the war must end now. this is after hiroshima, before soviet intervention. there were other factors on his mind including loss of faith and the strategy to meet the invasion, concern about the japanese people reaching revolutionary state sometime in the fall. these all played into his mind. he announces that the decision before the inner circle of leadership in the early morning hou

they had invaded manchuria they were occupying the queen islands would she still occupy to this day. and they were threatening hokkaido and their decision to surrender was based on that much more than it was based on the two nuclear attacks. thank you. >> okay. let me unpack that and several levels. first of all, in terms of the impact of soviet intervention, when the emperor was at that imperial conference nearly hours of august 10th 1945. the general tells the emperor and a classic understatement, the soviet intervention is unfortunate but it doesn't negate their plan to counter the american invasion. and if you go through all these other statements i've been through. all these japanese officers were talking about intervention, as certainly not true in terms of the officers in the inner cabinet making the decision for the government to surrender. soviet intervention doesn't like an important part. it's very important and getting compliance of all the japanese armed forces particularly those who are on the asian continent for whom soviet and prevention is a direct menace, unlike the

my grandfather was drafted by the japanese army and fought in manchuria. i keep seeing every year when they talk about pearl harbor, that america was attacked unprovoked. which is not true. truman said on that clip that you've shown and like charles said on the call, that japan bombed pearl harbor unprovoked. that is not true because the flying tigers were flying under secret order of the president and until 1996 when either, i think it was either reagan or clinton acknowledged that the flying tigers were part of the military so they could get the v.a. benefits and then under military payment through the united states government through the company of shinoat so i keep hearing this japanese unprovoked attack but that's not true. i'm not saying that the war wasn't a bad tling because it was a terrible thing of what japan did to china, and parts of russia, to the philippines, to the americans and people who actually ended up fighting with them. it was terrible things that happened. >> scott, we'll get a response from our guest ian toll. >> yeah, well, i mean
