End of World War II in Asia Heralded by Allied Victory
The Associated Press reports the Japan axis defeated after 14 years of global conflict, with Hitler Mussolini and Yamamoto dead or dethroned. Pearl Harbor and vast battles across Manchuria, the Pacific, and Europe reshape world power as United States rises as occupation force amid immense casualties. The piece recalls key campaigns from Bataan to Iwo Jima and reflects on shifting power and memory in the war’s aftermath.
