Would a small supply of future nuclear warheads allow Japan to win the war in 1941?
Short answerThe assessment is that it could lengthen the war but would not provide enough capacity to secure victory.
NotesThe scenario gives Japan a small number of future nuclear warheads in 1941. Their use is expected to lengthen the war by damaging major industrial or political centres. The assessment nevertheless rejects a Japanese victory from such a limited supply. The warhead quantity remains uncertain.
