SURRENDER MADE PUBLIC ON THIS DAY IN 1945

 

In what later became known as Victory Day, an official announcement
of Japan’s
unconditional surrender to the Allies is made public to the world on August 14, 1945. Japan formally surrendered in writing two weeks later, on September 2, 1945.

Even though Japan’s War Council, urged by Emperor Hirohito, had
already submitted a declaration of surrender to the Allies, via
ambassadors.
