World War II officially ended when Japan surrendered on September 2, 1945, following the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August. The unconditional surrender marked the conclusion of hostilities in the Pacific Theater and solidified the Allied victory. The formal surrender ceremony took place aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, symbolizing the end of a conflict that resulted in significant loss of life and widespread destruction. This event also set the stage for post-war reconstruction and the establishment of international bodies aimed at preventing future conflicts.
