Is it really dramatic? Then just put it in the main feed.
Is it chuddy? (Be honest.) Then /h/chudrama.
Is it from back in old boomer times or before?
This is the place for it.
Feel free to talk about history here at
whatever level of seriousness you feel like.

Note that he explicitly says they're surrendering because of the atomic bomb and never mentions the Soviet invasion of Manchuria. Sometimes it really is that simple. !anticommunists

The Soviet invasion shattered some generals delusional view that the Soviets could be brokers in some peace deal but it seems the Atomic bombings were the reason for Hirohito making the call to surrender himself.
Before that he never said a word against the high command and the government but after Hiroshima and Nagasaki he stood up to them and finally forced them to accept surrender.

Good video on the subject !historychads
tl;dr when Hirohito made the original surrender speech two of the three area army commanders (the two ones on the mainland) did not surrender. It took a seperate army speech directed to them for them to back down. It only mentions the Soviets.
