Throughout most of the Pacific War, Japan and the Soviet Union remained neutral. On August 8, 1945, the Soviet Union declared war against Japan, and on August 15, Japan surrendered. The war against Japan was fought almost exclusively by the United States alone. For a mere one week of the war, Russia became a belligerent power and moved into North Korea, forcing the United States to propose the division of Korea. By the end of 1944, the entire Japanese leadership, including the emperor, came to the full realization that Japan lost the war and should seek peace. With the surrender of Germany inearly May 1945, eventhe war-hawks realized their irretrievable defeat. If Japanhad reached out to the United States for peace, the war would have ended easily without the Soviet Union entering the war. This, Japan refused to do. Instead, Japan tried to seek out Russian assistance to end the war, in which Japanschemedtodrive a wedgebetween the Soviet Unionand the United States. This delayed Japan’s surrender, allowing the Soviets to enter into the war, which in turn resulted in the division of Korea.
