Commemorate to remember particular the suffering people on all sides suffered in the war. Also to remind ourselves of the perils and costs of war to look at why they happened and try to learn from them (sadly I think we do precious too little of that currently). Celebration isn't the right term at all for me.

Yes, it's a good thing when genocidal dictatorships stop fighting and reform themselves into peaceful bastions of democracy. The means by which we procured that victory were very grim, but the victory itself was a godsend for human rights and development in the island nation.

While i think any war ending is a cause for celebration, i think now the conflict just needs to be remembered, for those who lost their lives, the devastation it caused humanity but also to learn from so it isn't repeated.

No not really and if there's a reason It should be like a anniversary or memorial day As they do in Japan like No celebration just remember it to teach next generations a great lessons.

Not sure what I voted because I just clicked but I don't think its a day to celebrate. I think its more of a day we should remember and talk about the lessons learned.

Good cause to celebrate the end of the senseless slaughter of millions of lives.

Between 80 and 100 million lives were lost to that horrible war, another 200+ million were left blind, limbless, severely crippled and/or with severe physical or emotional injury. No-one really has an accurate casualty count. Such wars have a way of spring boarding other wars as the world tries to put itself back together afterwards.

The people of Japan also need celebrate that their emperor called it quits before taking all of Japan into hell with him. The brutal and merciless way they conducted the war left them undeserving of mercy. Thankfully good hearts prevailed.

This is also a good time to again thank that "Greatest Generation Ever" for pulling the world through those dark hours. God bless them ♥️

Nothing about war should be celebrated, ever.

And we now drive Japanese cars, watch TV on Japanese TVs and Japan owns a good chunk of our national debt.

Japan learned its lesson, starting wars and invading other countries, solves absolutely nothing.

We have yet to learn that lesson.

We should remember and acknowledge it

50-50...

Peace began after for a lot of people..

Lot of people got hurt for the peace.. So is war..

Yes...

Not something we celebrate, we remember.

The guys that were there probably have a reason.

Reason to commemorate!

No.

The end of war can be a reason. But war itself is never a reason. Unless you are a psychopath.

Yea - no more killing -

Beats celebrating the outbreak of war

No it isn't Tracie

No
