Even the Japanese in WW2 were convinced to stop in the face of overwhelming violence when, before, they had elements in power saying they'd rather be exterminated than give up.

I heard they actually were just insisting the soviets be at the treaty negotiations so they didn't have to negotiate two peaces

I'm ready to believe that. A source would still be nice.

I would also put forward that overwhelming force, even without an atomic bomb, was enough to convince people who beforehand would have preferred that the island be exterminated.
