Operation Coronet
Operation Coronet was the name of the Allied plan for invasion of the Kanto plain near Tokyo, scheduled for Spring 1946.
Operation Coronet was planned as a follow-up to Operation Olympic, which was the planned invasion of Kyushu, the southern-most Japanese island.
Neither Operation Coronet, nor Operation Olympic, took place because Japan surrendered in August 1945, immediately following the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Soviet Union's declaration of war on Japan.
