Introduction :
August 15, the day on which the Allies
announced the surrender of Japanese forces during World War II. The end
of war will be marked by two-day holidays in the UK, the USA and
Australia. After days of rumour and speculation, US President Harry S
Truman broke the good news at a press conference. He said the Japanese
Government had agreed to comply in full with the Potsdam declaration
which demands the unconditional surrender of Japan.
