    egained its territorial losses and turned toward Germany and its allies.

    During
    1944 and 1945 the Japanese suffered major reversals in mainland Asia, in Central
    China, South China and Burma, while the Allies crippled the Japanese Navy and
    captured key Western Pacific islands.

    The war in Europe concluded with an invasion of Germany by the Western Allies and
    the Soviet Union, culminating in the capture of Berlin by Soviet troops, the
    suicide of Adolf Hitler and the German unconditional surrender on 8 May 1945.
    Following the Potsdam Declaration by the Allies on 26 July 1945 and the refusal of
    Japan to surrender under its terms, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the
    Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August, respectively. With an
    invasion of the Japanese archipelago imminent, the possibility of additional atomic
    bombings, the Soviet entry into the war against Japan and its invasion of
    Manchuria, Japan announced its intention to surrender on 15 August 1945, cementing
    total victory in Asia for the Allies. Tribunals were set up by the Allies, and war
    crimes trials were conducted in the wake of the war both against the Germans and
    against the Japanese.

    World War II changed the political alignment and social structure of the globe. The
    United Nations (UN) was established to foster international co-operation and
    prevent future conflicts; the victorious great powers—China, France, the Soviet
    Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States—became the permanent members of
    its Security Council. The Soviet Union and the United States emerged as rival
    superpowers, setting the stage for the nearly half-century-long Cold War. In the
    wake of European devastation, the influence of its great powers waned, triggering
    the decolonisation of Africa and Asia. Most countries whose industries had been
    damaged moved towards economic recovery and expansion. Political integration,
    especially in Europe, began as an effort to forestall future hostilities, end pre-
    war enmities and forge a sense of common identity.
