Between mid-August and early September each year, the member combatants of the Allied Nations from World War II commemorate the end of the conflict with a day of celebration. Known as Victory over Japan Day, V-J Day, or Victory in the Pacific Day, this occasion marks the end of theconflict in the Pacific and the eventual surrender of Japanese forces to an American delegation in 1945.

The United Kingdom, Australia, and the Netherlands mark the day on August 15th each year, while both North Korea and South Korea celebrate on the same day, but view it as National Liberation Day. In the United States, September 2nd is the celebratory V-J Day. While many combatants were involved, it was Australia and the United States which bore the brunt of the battle.
