When did WWII end?
Correct answer: 1945
Taranchalanche
That is why there were two celebrations, VE Day (Europe) and VJ Day (victory over Japan).
Player Elf Council
Taranchalanche, I remember both of them. Flags out across the streets. No more air raids. But rationing didn't finally end until 1952. and the last commodity to come off ration was confectionery and, boy, did we go mad buying sweets that day.

When I was a kid, VJ Day was called VP Day (Victory in the Pacific).
Norbert
And my mom was born 9 months (40 weeks) later to the day.

Taranchalanche, I remember it well. All the bunting was hung across the streets. That was VE day. I also remember seeing a photo in the newspaper of the atom bomb. It scared me even though I didn't on what it was. I was four.

My uncle fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He was point man in heavy artillery and would tell the troops where to position their guns.

The major contribution to the Allies of the US must never be forgotten

my grandfather was murdered by the Japanese as a prisoner of war in Borneo in a place called Sandakan. Along with other allied soldiers, mainly Australian and British. Out of 1400 only 6 survived. Check it out.

I was born in June, '45. My mother told me she took me to the victory parade, and I slept in my buggy through the whole celebration.

Player #7890913, or maybe that Russia freed countries but didn't return them to their people i.e. the Warsaw pact countries, who weren't freed until 1990

I don't think the surrender of Japan was unconditional. There was some war loot transactions that happened between Japan and the US, mostly involving gold and diamonds.

Atul Vashisth, umm... have you heard of the middle east? there has been war there since time began.

DelightfullyLearn,
Until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour the USA made no contribution to the Allies .
They did however sell materiel to Britain at very expensive prices to the extent that Britain only paid them off in about 2010.
Can’t really call that “a contribution “

DelightfullyLearn, the biggest allies were USSR a fact not remembered. Probably due to Russia not having a worldwide film industry that re-writes history, as America does.

unhingedcaptain356. They found a jaw bone with teeth sometime ago. After matching it to Hitlers xray they proved he was dead.

Japanese Prime Minister recently acknowledged responsibility for the hostilities but was widely criticized by his constituents who refuse to accept the truth.
