VJ Day refers to Victory over Japan Day, marking Japan's formal surrender in World War II. The date most commonly associated with VJ Day is August 15, 1945, the day Japan announced its surrender. In some countries, the surrender is commemorated on August 15 (VP Day in Australia and some Commonwealth nations, with ceremonies tied to that date), while in the United States the formal surrender ceremony took place on September 2, 1945, which later became widely known as V-J Day in the U.S. context. If you’re looking for a specific country’s observance or a particular ceremony, I can pull up precise notes for that region.
