This video is part of a series that examines the events and repercussions of two world wars, the Korean War, and the Cold War on American society. In this episode, World War II is in its final chapter. As yet, however, no one could predict how much longer the Allied powers would have to fight the enemy. The video looks at the bloody war in the Pacific Theater and some of its pivotal battles, as well as the dramatic moments that led up to the unconditional surrender of Japan. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi
