Japan accepts Potsdam terms, agrees to
unconditional surrender.
Today 68 year ago, Japan surrendered
unconditionally to the allies, ending the long distracting war that the empire had
started in Manchuria in 1931, invaded China in 1937 and further expanded to the
Pacific by the Pear Harbor attack in 1941. So many people, not limited to the military
personnel but enormous number of civilians suffered from the tragic war during
the period. Furthermore, it took hundreds of thousand innocent lives in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki only in two days. What made the decision so wrong and so
late?
Enjoy reading and learning how western
history site describes the surrender on the day that should not be forgotten.
