On May 8, 1945, the Allies celebrated the official end of World War II in Europe, marking the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany. The day was filled with relief, joy, and widespread celebrations across Europe and North America. While VE Day marked the end of the war in Europe, the conflict continued in the Pacific. The surrender came after the capture of Berlin and the death of Adolf Hitler. VE Day remains a major historical event, remembered annually for the sacrifices made by millions during the war.
