| Description |
On 2 September 1945, on board USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, the forces of Imperial Japan signed this document to indicate their unconditional surrender to the United States and Allied forces, finally bringing an end to World War II. Japan's emperor had first indicated his intentions of surrender on 15 August, which is celebrated as V-J (Victory-Japan) day. This document is still on the deck of the Missouri, next to the spot where the signing took place, though the ship is now permanently retired and moored at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, next to the wreck of the Arizona, whose sinking by the Japanese had drawn the US into the war. |
