May 8, 1945 became known as V-E Day in America.
V-E stands for "Victory in Europe," because this is the day when Nazi Germany surrendered to the Allied powers (France, the United Kingdom, the U.S., Poland, the Soviet Union, China, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Denmark, Norway, and Yugoslavia). Victory in Europe Day is effectively the day when the Allies won World War II.
