I am in complete agreement with dazzleman. While it is horrible to think that by killing as many as the allies did at Hiroshima and Nagasaki actually saved millions more lives on both sides, it is pretty accurate. We know, now of course, the Japanes game plan; and it would be bloody, long and relentless to the extent we would have been bogged down in the Pacific until at least 1947.
If that had happened, and US military and economic attention was drawn away from a defeated and ruined Europe, while Soviet attention was focused on Europe, it would have given communism a much needed boost and the Iron Curtain could have been much further west with Germany, France and Italy at a greater risk of communist interference.
