It’s impossible to prove either way, but I just don’t see Japan surrendering after a demonstration alone. And even if they had, who’s to say it wouldn’t have been regarded as a “stab in the back” by the militaristic faction of Japanese society? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%ABj%C5%8D_incident#Background
