Answer 3

In early 1945, in the wake of the loss of Leyte, Emperor Shōwa (Hirohito) began a series of individual meetings with senior government officials to consider the progress of the war. He apparently took the view that peace was essential, but that the armed forces would have to engineer a conspicuous military victory somewhere in order to provide a stronger bargaining position. With each passing week this became less likely.

The Soviet Union issued notice that it would not renew its neutrality agreement. Japan's ally Germany surrendered in early May 1945. In June, the cabinet reassessed the war strategy, only to decide more firmly than ever on a fight to the last man. This was officially affirmed at a brief Imperial Council meeting, to which the emperor listened in stony-faced silence.

On August 9, 1945, following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Soviet declaration of war, Hirohito decided to surrender. During the Occupation, Japan's constitution of 1889 underwent a drastic revision under which the emperor lost all political power. Sovereignty was vested in the people and the emperor was made "symbol of the State and of the unity of the people."

The US authorities who controlled occupied Japan wanted to maintain the monarchy and protect Hirohito as a means to insure his support for occupation reforms. But they would do so only after stripping him of all political power and subject to his cooperation in reforming Japan. The official terms of surrender are signed aboard the USS Missouri by Hirohito and Admiral Chester Nimitz. The role of the Emperor as a god, after the war, was forever lost as well.
