Best Answer

The peace sign (meaning the first and second fingers held up to form a V) is probably a continuation of the V symbol used during and after World War II in anticipation of, and after in celebration of the victory over the Axis powers in Europe. Victory in Europe meant peace for the world, therefore the continuation of the symbol to mean peace rather than victory.
