This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. On 15 August 1945, Japan accepted the Allied demand for unconditional surrender, effectively bringing World War II to an end after six years of bitter conflict. The series of events leading to the end of the war included Germany's surrender to the Western Allies on 8 May 1945 and the dropping of atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima on 6 August and Nagasaki on 9 August. It had been the most destructive war in human history, involving more than 30 countries and with around 75 million casualties, including some 39,000 Australians. Throughout Australia, jubilation that the war was finally over erupted on the streets of the cities and towns. A public holiday was gazetted as VP (Victory in the Pacific) Day, still commemorated every year on 15 August.
