While the Japanese were militarily defeated I think that Russia coming into Manchuria and fairly quickly overwhelm the forces there had to be a big shock to the Japanese Imperial Staff the use of the atomic bombs showed that the nation faced a battle there would give no quarter. I have read that Operation Olympic was expected to see as many as a quarter of a million US casualties but would have at the same time would mean some two thirds of the Japanese population would need to be casualties in order to win the campaign.
