Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Since the European Axis Powers had surrendered three months earlier (V-E Day), V-J Day was the effective end of World War II, although a peace treaty between Japan and most of the Allies was not signed until 1952, and between Japan and the Soviet Union until 1956.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reaction to Japanese Surrender This is the day when Fascism finally dies, as we always knew it would.” Jubilant Americans declared August 14 “Victory over Japan Day, ” or “V-J Day.” (May 8, 1945–when the Allies accepted Nazi Germany’s official surrender–had previously been dubbed “Victory in Europe Day, ” or “V-E Day.”)

Detailed explanation-3: -The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the reason for Japan’s surrender and the end of World War II.

Detailed explanation-4: -What’s the difference between VE Day and VJ Day? There can sometimes be some confusion between VE Day and VJ Day. Though both days mark moments where the Allied Forces celebrated the end of the war, VJ Day stands for Victory in Japan Day. VJ Day came later, on 15 August 1945.

Detailed explanation-5: -Japan surrenders, bringing an end to WWII. Aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, Japan formally surrenders to the Allies, bringing an end to World War II. By the summer of 1945, the defeat of Japan was a foregone conclusion. The Japanese navy and air force were destroyed.
