World War II effectively ended with the formal surrender of Japan on September 2, 1945. This followed the dropping of atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima on August 6 and Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, which led to significant devastation and loss of life. Facing the threat of further destruction and the Soviet Union's declaration of war against Japan on August 8, Japan announced its unconditional surrender on August 15, a date now commemorated as V-J Day (Victory over Japan Day). The official surrender ceremony took place on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay.
