16h 47min, sep 2, 1945 y - Japan Surrender- September 2nd 1945
Description:
September 2nd 1945- Japan surrenders unconditionally. The Japanese navy and army was completely destroyed so even if they wanted to fight back they couldn't. With the US, The Soviet Union, Britain and China arriving in the Tokyo Bay, Mamoru Shigemitsu who was the prime minister at the time signed for their Government and General Yoshijiro Umezu signed for their entire military. This was truly the end of WW2 and this was a very important day for America. We got into this war because of Japan and if we did not win, we would have looked inadequate, but since we won, we have further proven ourselves to being a world power.
