Most believe that World War 2 ended on September 2, 1945, but this is not the case. There are still two nations that have not yet reached a peace deal. Those two nations are Japan and Russia (formerly the Soviet Union). Yes, the fighting may have ended 70 years ago, but they have never been able to come to agreeable terms on what to do with four small islands just north of Japan. You see, in 1945, the Soviet Red Army took control of the southern Kuril Islands and deported all residents to Japan. Many attempts have been made to end this dispute between Japan and Russia, but each has been met with a failure for one side to agree to the terms of the other. Until this dispute is ended, World War 2 will carry on.
