On July 26, 1945, the Potsdam Declaration is issued to Japan by the Allies represented by U.S. President Harry S. Truman for the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill for the United Kingdom, and Chairman of China Chiang Kai-shek for China. As of this date, the Soviet Union (USSR) was not at war with Japan.

The alternative for Japan is prompt and utter destruction."
