Day the Second World War ended is celebrated today in Russia.
As Fox News writes, Sunday marks the 73rd anniversary of V-J Day – Victory over Japan, when World War II ended on Sept. 2, 1945 with Japan’s surrender to the United States in a ceremony about the battleship USS Missouri.
It followed V-E Day – Victory in Europe – on May 8 that same year, when the Allies accepted the surrender of Nazi Germany.
The Second World War was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945.
It was the most global war in history; it directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries.
Soviet Union suffered the most, losing 27 million people.
