About the Anniversary of Japan Formerly Surrendering to End WWII
Military , China Japan & Korea
Ends: Sep 02, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
September 2, 1945, marks Japan officially surrendering to the Allied Powers. Although the surrender was announced by Imperial Japan almost 20 days earlier, the treaty's signing occurred on September 2. This move led to the end of WWII in the Pacific.
By the mid-year of 1945, the resources to make weapons for the Imperial Army were scarce, disabling the Imperial Japanese Navy from producing more weapons and, thereby, reducing the number of operations in the area. The Allied Forces and China called for the surrender of the Imperial Army on July 26, 1945, in the Potsdam Declaration. While the Imperial Army stated that they would not surrender, it was having negotiations with the Soviet Union to have a peaceful surrender with terms more amenable to Japan. However, the Soviets were preparing to attack the Japanese Army in East Asia as agreed with the United States prior, specifically at the Yalta and Tehran Conferences.
On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima.
By the evening of the same day, President Harry S. Truman called for the surrender of the Japanese Imperial Army.
After three days, the Soviet Union invaded Manchukuo, a state occupied by Japan. Later that day, the United States released a second atom bomb over Nagasaki.
Emperor Hirohito accepted the Allied terms conceived at the Potsdam Declaration. By August 15, he announced to the entire Empire through a radio broadcast that Japan would surrender to the Allied Forces.
It was in the USS Missouri (NN-53) that the official surrender commenced on September 2, 1945.
