Their emperor must be allowed to stay in power.
[Music] The Americans signal that if the Supreme Commander of Allied forces, General Douglas MacArthur, is placed in overall command of Japan, they will allow the emperor to stay.
The two sides finally agree terms of surrender in early August.

[Music] [Applause] Finally, it’s over.
Peace has arrived.
[Applause] [Music] [Music] Countless lives have been lost in one of the most bloody campaigns of World War II.

74 million are military.
The American nation has fought for 4 years and buried nearly half a million men.
In the Pacific, 55,145 men were lost from the Army, 29,263 from the Navy, and 19,163 Marines.
[Music] But out of all this, new adversaries emerge in an epic struggle to master such devastating power.
While the Japanese nation must rebuild its shattered and scarred country and learn to come to terms with a calamitous war that began in the waters of Hawaii and ended in rubble and ash.
Heat.
Heat.
