Although the war in Europe ended when Nazi Germany surrendered, the war in the Pacific was still in progress. As Japan refused to surrender at the request of the US, UK and China, a decision was made to release two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively. This was signaled the official end of World War II.
