Today, September 2, is the day the Second World War ended
After the Japanese forces in Manchuria were crushed by the Soviet Army, on September 1945, 2, aboard the USS Missouri, General Douglas MacArthur signed Japan's unconditional surrender, the bloodiest continuous surrender in human history. The war marked the end of the Second World War.
Thus ended the 2194-day war and General MacArthur's words: "Today the guns are silent. The great tragedy is over. A great victory has been won" - his words went down in history.
The scale of the war was so extensive that it involved 73 countries out of the 1,7 independent countries at the time, with a population of 61 billion, which involved 80% of the world's population. military operations were conducted in 40 countries, three continents and four oceans.
