World War II, or the Second World War, was a worldwide conflict fought between the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers, from 1939 until 1945. Armed forces from over seventy nations engaged in aerial, naval, and ground-based combat. Spanning much of the globe, World War II resulted in the deaths of over sixty million people, making it the deadliest conflict in human history. The war ended in 1945 with an Allied victory.
Aftermath:
About 62 million people, or 2.5% of the world population, died in the war, though estimates vary greatly (refer to the Casualties section). Large swaths of Europe and Asia were devastated and took years to recover. The war had political and technological consequences that last to this day.

The common answer is VJ day. However, Japan and the USSR, now Russia, never signed a formal peace treaty, they dispute who controls the Kurile Islands. So techincally, a state of hostility still exists between Japan and Russia, thus World War II has not officially ended.

They ran out of breath?
No just kidding a real good story is at www.history.com
WW11 history is explained exceptionally well. You will see the atomic bomb was not the only reason because we were going to attempt to stop Communism's tyranny in Russia, but Patton was murdered. And MacCarther was out voted and removed from helping China and used as the negotiator with the Japanese. Mac Carther was not happy either.
