Week 314B - The End of World War Two - WW2 - September 2, 1945

The Japanese sign the official document of surrender and the Second World War is over. There are still some Japanese garrisons yet to surrender, but they begin doing so one after the other. However, war is not over- and there is serious foreboding for future events in places like Vietnam and China - where Mao Zedong is meeting with Chiang Kai-Shek, even as Josef Stalin lurks in the background to secure Soviet interests no matter which Chinese regime comes out on top. 00:00 INTRO 00:59 VIETNAM DECLARES INDEPENDENCE 04:04 THE IMPORTANCE OF MANCHURIA 06:28 JAPAN’S SURRENDER 11:22 THE FINAL SURRENDERS 13:18 CASUALTIES 15:50 THE END Join us on Patreon: Or join the TimeGhost Army directly at: Check out our TimeGhost History YouTube channel: Between 2 Wars: Follow WW2 Day by Day on Instagram: @ww2_day_by_day Follow TimeGhost History on Instagram: @timeghosthistory Like us on Facebook: Hosted by: Indy Neidell Director: Astrid Deinhard Producers: Astrid Deinhard and Spartacus Olsson Executive Producers: Astrid Deinhard, Indy Neidell, Spartacus Olsson Creative Producer: Marek Kamiński Community Management: Jake McCluskey Written by: Indy Neidell Research by: Indy Neidell Map animations by: Daniel Weiss Map research by: Sietse Kenter Edited by: Iryna Dulka Artwork and color grading by: Mikołaj Uchman Sound design by: Marek Kamiński Colorizations by: Mikołaj Uchman Iryna Dulka Olga Shirnina, .
