Japanese representatives signed the Instrument of Surrender aboard the USS Missouri, formally ending the war. The signing established Allied occupation authority over Japan and ordered Japanese forces across Asia to lay down arms. In Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, and elsewhere, the end of Japanese rule created openings for independence claims while former European empires sought to return.
