Instead of picking up weapons, representatives only picked up pens to formalize Japan\u2019s surrender to allied forces.<\/p>\n<p>The Battle of the Pacific had tilted to allied favor in the summer of 1945. In June, Americans forces captured Okinawa. In August, the United States dropped a pair of atomic bombs on two Japanese cities. On August 15<sup>th<\/sup>, Japan\u2019s Emperor went on national radio to announce his surrender. The US accepted the surrender and set September 2nd as the day for a formal surrender ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>On this day in 1945, 250 allied warships anchored in the Tokyo Bay as representatives from 10 countries boarded the USS Missouri as General Douglas MacArthur gave an opening address.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe are gathered here, representatives of the major warring powers, to conclude a solemn agreement whereby peace may be restored,\u201d General Douglas MacArthur said. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[embedded content]\n<p>At 9:05 local time, Japanese Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu was the first to sign. General MacArthur gave his autograph at 9:08. Nine more representatives would sign and in less than 20 minutes six years of world war finally came to a complete close.<\/p>\n<p>While many Americans celebrated after the Emperors surrender in mid-August, President Truman officially declared September 2nd as \u2018Victory in Japan Day\u2019 as World War II \u2014 the bloodiest conflict of the 20th century \u2014 officially came to a close.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/august-16-1977-elvis-presley-dies-age-42\/\">August 16, 1977: Elvis Presley Dies, Age 42<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE- In this Sept. 2, 1945, file photo, Admiral Chester W.
