The fanatical stand by the Japanese at Nago inflicted horrible losses to our forces. We were still able to defeat the Japanese forces on Okinawa! With us retaking Okinawa, the Japanese Government has been persuaded to seek peaceful means to solve our dispute. The newly formed Japanese government is asking for a cease-fire and to discuss a peace settlement. Although the Japanese might have lost this battle, they have shown that they are ready to flex their muscles in the world arena.
