aug 14, 1945 - Japan Surrenders
Description:
This event is when the U.S. dropped bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima because Japan did not surrender. After the bombings, Japan had no choice but to surrender, as millions were at risk if the conflict was not put to a halt. This is important because it is the official ending of World War 2, as the last Axis power to surrender which marks the Allies victorious.Added to timeline:
