After the United States dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, Japan agreed to surrender to the Allies. This decision was influenced by the devastating impact of the atomic bombings of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as the prevailing military situation and the Soviet Union's declaration of war against Japan. Japan's formal surrender came a few days later, on August 15, 1945, leading to the end of World War II.
