Hirohito

The Cabinet drafted an "Imperial Rescript Ending The War"

Friday Aug 10, 1945
Tokyo, Japan

Everything changed after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Soviet declaration of war. And on August 10, the cabinet drafted an "Imperial Rescript ending the War" following the Emperor's indications that the declaration did not compromise any demand which prejudiced the prerogatives of His Majesty as a Sovereign Ruler.
