About VJ Day

虽然 1945 年 5 月的 VE 日（欧洲胜利日）标志着欧洲战争的结束，但仍有成千上万的武装部队人员在远东作战。战胜日本需要付出沉重的代价，日本胜利日（VJ 日）标志着日本于 1945 年 8 月 15 日投降，从而结束了第二次世界大战。.

VJ Day, or Victory over Japan Day, is observed on 15 August to mark the end of World War II. It commemorates the day in 1945 when Japan announced its surrender, effectively bringing the war to a close. In the UK, this date is remembered with gratitude for the sacrifices made during the conflict, especially by those who served in the Asia-Pacific region.
