8.15 Research Learning World 'End of War Day'

The Significance of August 15
August 15 marks 80 years since Japan's defeat. Known in Japan as 'End of War Day', what significance does this day hold from the perspective of other countries? In South Korea, it is celebrated as 'Liberation Day' from Japanese colonial rule, while in the United States, the victory over Japan is commemorated on September 2 when the surrender documents were signed. This presentation will explore the varying meanings of the 'End of World War II' based on different countries through a research learning format. The shop owner, Mr. Yasuhiko, is scheduled to join via live broadcast from South Korea, which is celebrating 'Liberation Day'.
