Yet, on the very same day Nagasaki was bombed, a second, equally significant offensive began. Stalin launched the long-planned Manchuria Campaign — a massive, well-coordinated assault against Japanese forces. Involving 1.5 million Soviet troops, the campaign marked not only a pivotal moment in the final days of the war, but also the continuation of a historic rivalry between Russia and Japan that dated back to the early 20th century.
