Proclamation 2714

Proclamation 2714

Presidential Proclamation 2714 was signed by President Harry S. Truman on December 31, 1946 to officially declare the cessation of all hostilities in World War II. Even though the actual combat of the war ended May 8, 1945 in Europe and September 2, 1945 in the Pacific, a state of war (declared years earlier), still existed. The signing of Proclamation 2714 effectively terminated that declaration.
