True story: there was a once-in-a-century tsunami that swept past Japan's east coast the day after they signed the surrender. The entire Pacific fleet had lined up along Japan's coastline in a show of force. If Japan had just held out for one day -- one more evening, really -- that tsunami would have wiped out the entire Pacific fleet, leaving the entire Pacific theater to Japan to reconquest.
Just one evening. When I heard that, I couldn't help but think "that's what you get for betraying the code of your ancestors."
A once-in-a-century tsunami would have delivered them to victory. Think of how glorious that story would have been to tell.
> Typhoon Ida, known in Japan as Makurazaki Typhoon (枕崎台風), was a powerful and very deadly typhoon that formed over the western Pacific Ocean and struck Japan in September 1945, shortly after the Japanese surrender in World War II, causing over 2,000 deaths.
The Pacific fleet left immediately after the formal surrender was signed on September 2, 1945, aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. Had they stayed, they would have been wiped out. As you might know, tsunamis occur with little to no warning so it's not a weather event they could have forecast.
