post-WWII

On Aug. 14, 1945, Japan’s Foreign Minister, Mamoru Shigemitsu, signed the unconditional surrender papers for Emperor Hirohito, thus committing Japan to accept the Potsdam Declaration, on Aug. 14, 1945. Later that day, the emperor called a meeting of his cabinet and instructed them to accept the Allied terms immediately, explaining “I cannot endure the thought of letting my people suffer any longer.” Following the surrender of the Japanese government and the landing of Gen. McArthur in Japan in September 1945, the Potsdam Declaration served as legal basis for occupation by allied forces.
