From 1941-1945 three catastrophic events happened. One of those three events was the first gassing test at Auschwitz prison on September 3, 1941. Another one of those events was the bombing on Nagasaki. That event happened on august 8, 1945. The last of those three events that occurred was Japan surrendering on august 15, 1945.

The first gassing test at Auschwitz prison was on September 3, 1941. In the bunker all the Jews are crammed together in a few cells. The cellar windows are blocked up with earth. Then about 600 Russians POW officers, and political commissioners are driven into the cellar. As soon as they are pushed into the cells the ss men threw in zyklon B gas, the doors were locked and sealed.

Auschwitz started out as a concentration camp in 1940 built on the foundations of former Polish Army barracks, near Oświęcim and Brzezinka in Southwestern Poland, near Katowice and Krakow. It now stands as a constant reminder of the dangers of racism and Nazi tyranny where roughly 1.1 million victims were murdered by the Nazis, over 90% of them Jews.

Auschwitz prison was the largest of the German Nazi concentration camps. about three million people died at the Auschwitz prison camp. Most of the people died from the zylon B gas. the name Auschwitz came from the city it was at. Another name for Auschwitz prison was Konzentrationslager.

The atomic bombing of Nagasaki was very devastating. An atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki on august 9, 1945. Three days after the bombing on Hiroshima. The bomb was assembled on tinram island on August 8th, field order no. 17 issued from the 20th air force headquarters on Guamcalled for its use the following day on either Kokura the primary target, or Nagasaki. That same day the soviet union declared war on Japan. The B-29 bomber rockstar reached the sky over Kokura on the morning of August 9th but abandoned the primary target because of smoke cover and changed the course for Nagasaki. They dropped the bomb on August 8,1945 11:02 A.M.

Nagasaki was not America's primary target. This was Kokura. The three potential targets for a second bomb were Kokura, Kyoto and Niigata. Nagasaki was only added to a list of potential targets when Kyoto was withdrawn (it had been the secondary target for a second bomb) because of its religious associations. The third potential target was Niigata - but this was withdrawn from the list as the distance to it was considered to be too great. Therefore, the Americans were left with just two targets - Kokura and Nagasaki.

Nagasaki suffered the same fate as Hiroshima in August 1945. The bombing of Nagasaki on August 9th was the last major act of World War Two and within days the Japanese had surrendered. Nagasaki was a major shipbuilding city and a large military port. But it was not a favored target as it had been bombed five times in the previous twelve months and any damage caused by an atomic bomb would have been difficult to assess. Also, the way Nagasaki had grown as a port meant that the impact of a powerful bomb might be dissipated as the city had grown across hills and valleys. The city was also broken up with stretches of water. However, fate and the weather was to be Nagasaki's undoing.

On August 28, the occupation of Japan began by Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers led by Douglas MacArthur. The formal surrender occurred on September 2, when representatives from the Empire of Japan signed Japanese Instrument of Surrender in Tokyo Bay aboard the USS Missouri. Japanese forces in South East Asia followed suit on September 12, 1945 in Singapore. Still, August 15 is considered both in Japan and the rest of the world to mark the end of World War II.

Following the signing of the instrument of surrender many further surrender ceremonies took place across Japan's remaining holdings in the Pacific. With many Japanese troops still fighting the Allied troops, often in remote areas, it took until early 1946 for all major units to actually lay down their arms. Some individuals, especially on small Pacific Islands, refused to surrender at all. In this address, the Emperor emphasized the role of the atomic bombings in his decision, saying, "The enemy now possesses a new and terrible weapon with the power to destroy many innocent lives and do incalculable damage".

In September 2, 1945, the Japanese representatives signed the official Instrument of Surrender, prepared by the War Department and approved by President Truman. It set out in eight short paragraphs the complete capitulation of Japan. The opening words, "We, acting by command of and in behalf of the Emperor of Japan," signified the importance attached to the Emperor's role by the Americans who drafted the document. The short second paragraph went straight to the heart of the matter: "We hereby proclaim the unconditional surrender to the Allied Powers of the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters and of all Japanese armed forces and all armed forces under Japanese control wherever situated."

Out of those three devastating events the gassing of Auschwitz prison was the worst. The bombing of Hiroshima was another devastating event that happened. Lastly the signing of the surrender of Japan. Those were three events that happened between the years of 1941-1945.
