0h 7min, may 7, 1945 y - Germany unofficially surrenders
Description:
Germany surrendering in the war ended the war in Europe. This made it crucial for the United States to take care of Japan, because although there was still Italy, Italy was kind of the country that was there just to be there. The main reason that Germany surrender was because the Soviet Union was approaching Berlin from the east, and the western allies approaching from the west.
