Were the atom bombs the main reason for surrender?

According to these Stanford and MIT professors , later released docs show that it was known that it was well-known that the main condition the Japanese wanted was that no harm would come to the emperor and that Truman finally signaled he would abide by this only after the two bombs were dropped.

Jewel Voice Broadcast ➡ Hirohito surrender broadcast

Please change "Jewel Voice Broadcast" to Hirohito surrender broadcast, per the revent move of that page (because Jewel Voice Broadcast is, it turns out, a 2006 Misplaced Pages user-spawned neologism).

It should say the British Empire instead of Great Britain in the lede. Jgins (talk) 19:38, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Done Good catch. I replaced it with United Kingdom as the most recognizable term; I think British Empire may place undue emphasis on the UK's global spread, which isn't super relevant to its role in the Potsdam Declaration etc. Ovinus (talk) 21:02, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Incorrect info under Further surrenders and resistance

Under the section titled "Further surrenders and resistance", the last sentence reads:

"Some may never have heard of it. Teruo Nakamura, the last known holdout, emerged from his hidden retreat in what was now independent Indonesia in December 1974, while two other Japanese soldiers, who had joined Communist guerrillas at the end of the war, fought in southern Thailand until 1991."

According to this Associated Press article: https://apnews.com/article/ade6f55bfed4013ad1b7b4e955e9d1ae

...that last bit of information in bold is incorrect. The two Japanese men fought in Malaysia, not Thailand, and they returned to Japan in early 1990, not 1991. 166.181.80.38 (talk) 09:55, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Simple spelling mistake/typo. "the Emperor's will that Japan surrender."

Change "Afterward, Tōgō told Suzuki that there was no hope of getting better terms, and Kido conveyed the Emperor's will that Japan surrender.".

"Afterward, Tōgō told Suzuki that there was no hope of getting better terms, and Kido conveyed the Emperor's will that Japan surrenders."

Or rewrite this part entirely. 109.235.37.171 (talk) 13:58, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Not done. The existing grammar is fine. Binksternet (talk) 16:19, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

FAR needed

A 2009 FA with notable issues:

Countless sentences and paragraphs without refs.
The article overuses quotes and blockquotes, of which many are lengthy.
Some large paragraphs only supported by one citation at the end.
Many webpages referenced when they're better covered by high-quality academic books and journals.
More than a third (73/185) of all citations rely only on Frank 1999 and Hasegawa 2005 as of now.
Thousands of new, quality texts on this vital topic exist in TWL. Some are definitely due for inclusion.
Citations and explanatory notes are mixed, but the problem is that different refstyles are used for each note.
