Answer 10

It ended with the unconditional surrender of the Axis powers. Germany surredered on May 8, 1945, about a week after Adolf Hitler had committed suicide. Japan was able to hold out for another few months and was preparing for a depsarate and bloody defense in the event of an American invasion of the home islands. Atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9 respectively. After that the Imperial government sought the Emperor's personal authority to surrender which he granted. He made a personal radio address announcing the decision. The surrender was signed on Sept. 2, 1945 aboard the battleship U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay. Michael Montagne


The war ended in Europe with the unconditional surrender by Germany on May 7, 1945 and then the German surrender to the Soviets on May 8, 1945. Germany was defeated by the British and Americans in the south and west and by the Russians in the east. Japan also unconditionally surrendered to the U.S. on September 2,1945 after two atomic bombs were dropped by the U.S.A. on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan in August 1945.

With 2 REALLY big explosions. :)

Nothing major - we just melted two of their largest industrial cities. I'm surprised that they even noticed such a little thing.

American forces had been steadily gaining ground in the Pacific since late 1942. By 1945 we were able to begin using large fleets of bombers operating out of China and Islands in the Pacific to destroy utterly their cities. On top of that our navy had cut them off from the supplies of raw materials, oil, rubber, iron, etc. that they had been importing and that they needed to produce weapons and ammunition. In addition, Japan imported a great deal of its food. Those imports were also cut off. Thus by mid 1945 Japan was unable to maintain indistrial production at anywhere near the level needed to supply their armies, their cities were subject to raids by over a thousand bombers at a time aginst which they had no defense and their population was in danger of starvation. Then, on August 6 and August 9 the United States dropped atomic bombs on the cities of Hirshima and Nagasaki. That finally convinced the Japanese government that they had no choice but to surrender.

WW2 ended by the dropping of the A bombs on Japan during August 1945. I was involved in the last battle against the Japanese on the Island of Okinawa located only 300 miles from Japan. We invaded the Island on Easter Sunday Apr.1st.1945 and the Island was declared secured the last week of June 1945. During the fighting we suffered 32,000 U.S. casualties with over 14,000 killed in action. During this same period we killed 118,000 Japanese defenders. It was a terrible experience but would have been nothing compared to our having to invade Japan itself. In fact should this have been necessary I am strongly convinced I would not have survived. The reason the Japanese KIA was so high is because they refused to be taken prisoner. Make no mistake about it. The Japanese soldier had been in military training since childhood and they were good well trained soldiers. They were also barbarians who killed American POWs & butchered the Chineese people including women & children.

The Allied forces landed at Omaha Beach on D-Day which was the beginning of the end for the Axis forces in Europe. After that, it was a slow march across Europe and into Germany and eventually Hitler committed suicide to avoid arrest and conviction for his War Crimes.

Japan refused to surrender when the other Axis powers had been defeated. Japan desperately wanted to control the islands of the Pacific. They truly believed that they were racially superior to the mixed races of Europe, Australia, the United States and Canada. After the Japanese military had been defeated and chased back to Japan, the Emperor still refused to surrender. Japan believed that they could hold out and continue to fight in order to gain better terms of surrender. They truly believed that the Allied forces would not be able to tolerate the losses that we would encounter if we invaded Japan. Our military was bombing many of the Japanese industrial areas in an effort to weaken the Japanese. The bombing caused entire cities to burn, killing hundreds of thousands in a single bombing raid. Still the Emperor refused to surrender. Finally, President Truman was given a choice of either sending in an invasion force or using the newly developed Atomic Bomb to let the Japanese know that we could destroy them if they refused to surrender. The Japanese people were prepared to fight to the death, every man, woman and child, at the beaches in an attempt to stop the invasion. They still believed that they had the right to the islands of the pacific, and that if they were invaded and subsequent occupation forced the destruction of their military, they would not be able to try to control the Pacific again.
The bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, and still the Emperor refused to surrender. Finally, after the 2nd Atomic Bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, the Emperor decided that it would be best to stop the destruction of his people.
