Discovery 4.86 Storyline: Tau Conquest

[Zelot]

Yes I read it thanks, It was more or less one action really, they gave up without really putting up a fight at all.
But to answer my question, yes they surrendered, but what were the circumstances of their surrender?

Kusari lost all major battles in Tau-31 to Gallia, though sometimes managing to inflict heavy losses upon the Royal Fleet, but ending up suffering even bigger losses themselves. By that point Bretonia, already aware that the Gallic offensive was mainly focused against itself and not Kusari, offered a ceasefire to Kusari, which Kusari refused to accept or acknowledge.

Kusari lost all major battles, which means there were at least a few major battles between Kusari and Gallia. That is not one. Also, they didnt accept the first attempt at peace.



And I really dont want to have to explain the end of WWII in the Pacific to you, but since I am a history guy, I cant pass up the chance.



The Japanese surrender to the Americans in Tokyo bay was the result of several factors, the most notable of which was the US dropping the A-bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Other factors were the Soviet invasion of Manchuria, as well as the fact that the United States had taken islands in the Pacific, putting US land based bombers within range of the Japanese main Islands. While Japan was in bad shape, the neither the United States nor the Soviet Union, nor for that matter the Chinese were in a position to easily take the Japanese main islands. Modern estimates suggest that it would have taken at least 1 million US troops to invade Japan, with death tolls estimated to be in the range of 300,000. This was why the A-bomb was used, a show of unmatchable power.... much like the Gallic advance into the Taus. Anyway, I am not sure what a discussion of the end of World War Two has to do with this, but there is your explanation.
