In 1945, on July 26, the United States, China, and Britain issued the Potsdam Declaration, publicly calling upon Japan to surrender. Japan did not respond. On August 6 and 9, U.S. forces dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively. On August 8, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and moved troops into Japanese-occupied Manchuria. On August 15, the Empire of Japan announced its unconditional surrender to the Allied powers, and on September 2 a formal surrender ceremony was held — the event that marked the end of World War II.
