VJ day
we won.It ended with the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. some people celebrate what is known as Victory in Japan or VJ Day. Aug 14
The USA dropped atom bombs on Hiroshomia and Nagaskai; and Russia declared war on Japan. Japan was a country where surrender was considered a "loss of face", but the atomic bombs and Russia convinced Japan to surrender.
Japan's surrender was announced on August 15, 1945, following the deployment of atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and August 9, respectively. The formal surrender was signed aboard the American battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945.
No, they did not. They couldn't even come up with a decent RADAR unit for their ships like the Allies had. They had no warplanes big enough to carry the Atomic Bomb anywhere useful. By the time the Atomic bombs were dropped (killing 85,000 and 65,000 people each) Tokyo was 3/4 destroyed by conventional bombing. On the first day of using conventional incendiary bombs on Tokyo, 100,000 of its citizens were killed. One the first day! Many other Japanese industrial and port cities were similarly wiped out.

No. I don't think there is any connection.

Some major events during World War II that kids can learn about include the attack on Pearl Harbor, the D-Day invasion, the Holocaust, the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the surrender of Germany and Japan.
The USA dropped atom bombs on Hiroshomia and Nagaskai; and Russia declared war on Japan. Japan was a country where surrender was considered a "loss of face", but the atomic bombs and Russia convinced Japan to surrender.
It would have been possible for the US to defeat Japan without using atomic bombs, however, there was a strategic reason for using the bombs, which was that Russia had entered the war and was intent on occupying Japan in much the way that they took over eastern Europe, and note that there is still one Japanese island occupied by Russia to this day, in 2011. So the US, which even before WW II was entirely over was already making plans for the Cold War to come, needed to bring the war with Japan to a rapid conclusion, and they were able to do that by using atomic bombs.
Japan's surrender was announced on August 15, 1945, following the deployment of atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and August 9, respectively. The formal surrender was signed aboard the American battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945.

In the Pacific, the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that landed in Japan, set off by the US, were what ended WWII. Japan surrendured the day after the second atomic bomb landed. In Europe, Alfred Jodl signed unconditional surrender documents for all German troops in Norway on May 7th, 1945. On May 8th, the next day, V-E day was celebrated (Victory in Europe).
COD4 My b-day
The US was victorious over Japan in 1945. This occurred when Harry Truman instructed American pilots to drop two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It ended the war, but the casualties and devastation it brought upon the Japanese was horrendous.
One day after the atomic bomb hit Hiroshima in Japan.
