The Japanese Instrument of Surrender was signed by the last Japanese representative at 9:04AM on September 2, 1945, known as VJ day to Allied forces. Afterward, Gen. DouglasMacArthur, Commander in the Southwest Pacific and Supreme Commander for the AlliedPowers, also signed. He accepted the Japanese surrender "for the United States, Republic ofChina, United Kingdom, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and in the interests of theother United Nations at war with Japan." It marked the formal end of World War II.

The document was signed on the deck of the US battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. OnSeptember 6, Colonel Bernard Theilen brought the document and an imperial rescript toWashington, DC and on the following day presented them to President Harry Truman in a formalWhite House ceremony.
