From the transcript
On September 2nd 1945, the Empire of Japan signed the terms of unconditional surrender put forward by the Allies, marking not only an end to the fighting in the Pacific theater, but the official end of the Second World War.
Japan's surrender was extraordinary, considering the nation's stance on war was always fighting until the last man no matter the odds of plan, which they had even been preparing to employ on the Japanese mainland.
Thankfully, the amphibious invasion of Japan would never be necessary, and the avoidance of this bloodbath is generally credited to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nag asaki, which showed such overwhelming power that Japan's leadership had no choice but to give in.
