QUOTE(NaTiMaRiE @ Jun 21 2004, 2:47 PM) Sorry...btw that I didn't respond earlier...I have been busy this week and kind of drowsy, but I think I'm okay now  . QUOTE Anywhoo...the Americans could have tested it to see the damage...but they refused to.  Sadly...the bombing on Japan still caused tension between the Soviet Union and the US, considering the fact that the Cold War started after WWII. Atleast Japan was spared from further tension between Russia and the US. The Japanese would've suffered more if Russia had occupied parts of Japan and refused to leave. |
