German forces surrendered in Italy on April 29 1945, and in Western Europe on May 7, 1945. On the Eastern Front, Germany surrendered to the Soviets on May 8, 1945. A German Army Group Centre resisted in Prague until May 11, 1945. On July 11, 1945, the Allied leaders met in Potsdam, Germany. They confirmed earlier agreements about Germany.

On August 15, 1945 Japan surrendered, with the surrender documents finally signed aboard the deck of the American battleship USS Missouri on September 2, 1945, ending the war.

President Truman officially declared an end to hostilities by Presidential Proclamation on December 31, 1946 (Proc. no. 2714, 61 Stat. 1048)
All wars that made up World War 2 were completed by 2 September 1945. Various components of the war had ended in the 5 months previous.
On land, sea and in the air, Poles fought Germans, Italians fought Americans and Japanese fought Australians in a conflict which was finally settled with the use of nuclear weapons.

World war two was completely over when the Russians captured the Reichstag, and also ended when the Americans won against the Japanese Imperial Empire. Also, when Hitler killed himself
The war ended on August 9, 1945 when the US dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki. The Japanese surrendered shortly after this.
World War Two started in 1939 with the German invasion of Poland.

It ended in 1945 with the drop of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima by America ,as japan destroyed pearl harbour in america , and Hitler commiting suicide
