On September 2, 1945, U.S. Army General Douglas MacArthur chaired a ceremony in connection with Japan's surrender, ending World War II.
The brief ceremony took place in the Gulf of Tokyo, in the American battleship, Missouri, the ship of the commander of the American Pacific fleet.
Addressing Allied representatives who had gathered on the ship, General MacArthur said that as all mankind did, he hoped that after this event a better world would emerge from the blood and horrors of the past, a world that would be devoted to human dignity and the fulfillment of mankind's most expensive desires, freedom, tolerance, and justice.
