The Instrument of Surrender had Japan surrender unconditionally and to allow the Allied Forces to enter Japan for a seven year occupation. The document is too long to put here so I have added a link for you to read it and about after the war. See related link below.
The acceptance of surrender terms was announced on August 15, 1945. Japanese officials signed the actual surrender document on September 2, 1945 aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay.
The Potsdam Declaration or the Proclamation Defining Terms for Japanese Surrender is a statement that called for the Surrender of the Empire of Japan during World War II. On July 26, 1945, United States President Harry S. Truman, United Kingdom Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Chairman of the Nationalist Government of China Chiang Kai-shek issued the document, which outlined the terms of surrender for the Empire of Japan as agreed upon at the Potsdam Conference. This ultimatum stated that, if Japan did not surrender, it would face "prompt and utter destruction" although the document did not make any mention of atomic weapons.
The universal sign for surrender is a white flag, which can also be a sign for surrender. It was first mentioned in 109 A.D. by the historian Cornelius Tacitus.
Japan Did surrender to the USA, and President Harry Truman, after two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan, (and after Russia declared war on Japan). Japan did not want to surrender, because their samurai code said it was better to die instead of to surrender. It was after they were bombed with nuclear weapons (and after Russia attacked the Japanese forces in Manchuria), that Japan finally decided to surrender.
The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, finally caused Japan to surrender.
