Scenario in dates:
July 10, 1943: Over The Kuril Islands - Southern Shumshu and northern Paramushiru are attacked by eight B-25 bombers from base on Attu Island in the Aleutians. This action is a part of the preparations for the liberation of Kiska Island, a series of raids against the Kurils to suppress the Japanese air units stationed there and it is the first bombardment of Japanese area from Doolittle Raid in 1942.
January 5, 1945: In the Kurile Islands - Admiral McCrea leads three cruisers and nine destroyers to bombard Suribachi Wan, bay of Paramushir Island.
July 26, 1945: Occupied Germany - The so-called Potsdam Declaration is being adopted at a conference in Potsdam near Berlin, calling on Japan to surrender according to the conditions, otherwise it will face complete destruction. The declaration is signed by US President Harry Truman, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek. The Soviet Union is not a signatory of the declaration because it is not in war with Japan, but it is bound by the secret conclusions of the Yalta Conference to attack Japan within three months after the end of the war in Europe. During the conference, Truman generally mentions to Stalin "a powerful new weapon," but he does not show signs of surprise becouse he is informed about the US nuclear weapon by his agents. At the same time, the results of the June elections in Britain, after the counting of the overseas votes, are published. Winston Churchill recieves a crushing defeat and leaves the conference and the post of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. His successor becomes Clement Attlee.
August 14, 1945: In Japan - Soviet forces proceed with the occupation of the southern half of Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands.
