Sept 2, 1945. Official ratification of Japanese surrender to the Allies occurred aboard the USS Missouri at Tokyo Bay Sept 2 (Far Eastern time) in 1945, thus prompting President Truman’s declaration of this day as Victory-over-Japan Day. Japans initial, informal agreement of surrender was announced by Truman and celebrated in the US Aug 14.
