It called for the unconditional surrender of Japan and outlined the terms for Japan's post-war reconstruction, emphasizing the need for disarmament and the establishment of a democratic government.

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.
It was near the end of World War 2, and Japan wouldn't surrender with no terms to the US, so President Harry S Truman gave the order to drop 2 atomic bombs on Japan. One oh Hiroshima, the other on Nagasaki. Japan surrendered then.
