On July 26, 1945, the United States, Britain, and China issued the Potsdam Declaration, calling for Japan's unconditional surrender in World War II.
The declaration warned of "prompt and utter destruction" if Japan refused to surrender, emphasising the Allies' united front and resolve.
The Potsdam Declaration outlined terms for Japan's disarmament, occupation, and the establishment of a peaceful government, marking a crucial moment in the final stages of the war.
The demand aimed to hasten the end of the conflict and prevent further loss of life, setting the stage for Japan's eventual surrender and the end of World War II.
