Japan was forced to surrender in the Pacific Theater primarily due to the devastating impact of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, which resulted in immense civilian casualties and destruction. Additionally, the Soviet Union's declaration of war against Japan and subsequent invasion of Japanese-held territories further weakened Japan's position. Faced with these overwhelming military setbacks and the prospect of complete annihilation, Japan ultimately announced its surrender on August 15, 1945.
