    As the name would suggest, 15 August 1945 was the moment that the Allies - that is Britain, the US and other countries that were fighting together - marked victory over Japan.
    After days of rumours about it, US President Harry S Truman broke the news at a press conference at the White House at 7pm on 14 August. Later at midnight, Britain's new prime minister Clement Atlee confirmed it, saying: "The last of our enemies is laid low."
    The following day, Japan's Emperor Hirohito was heard on the radio for the first time ever when he announced the surrender.
    And so 15 August 1945 was officially named as Victory in Japan day and World War Two war was finally over.
    Victory over Japan
    Day
    (also known as
    V-J Day
    , Victory in the Pacific
    Day
    , or V-P
    Day
    ) is the
    day
    on which Imperial Japan surrendered in
    World War II
    , in effect bringing the war to an end. ... On September 2, 1945, a formal surrender ceremony was performed in Tokyo Bay, Japan, aboard the battleship USS Missouri.
