The bombing of Hiroshima on August 6 and Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, played a crucial role in hastening Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day), which was officially declared on September 2, 1945. The devastating impact of the atomic bombings forced Japan to reconsider its capacity to continue fighting, leading to a swift surrender. The immense destruction and loss of life demonstrated the overwhelming power of the United States' new weaponry, effectively undermining Japanese morale and resolve. Consequently, Japan announced its unconditional surrender on August 15, 1945, leading to the formal end of World War II.
