Victory over Japan Day also known as Victory in the Pacific Day is the day on which Japan surrendered in World War II, ending the war. The term has been applied to the day on which the initial announcement of Japan's surrender was made, August 14, 1945 as well as to September 2, 1945, when the signing of the surrender document occurred, officially ending World War II. The name, V-J Day, had been selected by the Allies after they named V-E Day for the victory in Europe.
