The last episode in this award-winning historical documentary starts with the Atomic Age. Japan’s largest industrial cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki are hit with atomic bombs, killing over 78,000 people, forcing the Japanese to surrender unconditionally. On September 2, 1945, aboard the battleship USS Missouri, the formal surrender of the Japanese empire is completed with the Japanese leaders including Emperor Hirohito. Admiral Halsey sends one final message throughout the fleet, “Cease Fire. Cease Fire. The War Is Over.”
