[QUOTE="C-Note, post: 1494179, member: 9873"] Japan was not about to surrender before the bombs were dropped. Even the Japanese don't claim that this happened. A few minor officials in the Japanese government had sent out some peace feelers, but they didn't have much, if any, influence on the government as a whole. FDR was aware that the Japanese were preparing to start a war, but he wasn't aware of the planned Japanese strike on Pearl Harbor. He and his advisors thought it more likely that Japan would stage a surprise attack on the Philippines, not Hawaii. [/QUOTE]
