The surrender of US & Filipino soldiers in the Philippines that were defending the Bataan peninsula from the Japanese in early 1942 was caused by the lack of ammunition & food, not by a lack of resolve or courage. US General Wainwright thought it was necessary because of the inability to be resupplied enough to keep fighting. No one knew beforehand what brutality the Japanese would soon inflict on their POWs. In hindsight, maybe they could have held out a little longer, but surrender or fighting to the last man were the only options left.
There would have been NO surrender.
The U.S. nuked Hiroshima, then Nagasaki which led to the surrender of Japan by then Emperor Hirohito.

OMG has no one answered this? Serious? Anyway, the answer is Germany ,on the 30 April 1945,when Hitler killed himself, his wife and children in his bunker. It didn't take long after that for them to surrender!
Most likely the Bataan Death March would be part of the Pacific Ocean Theater of World War II, as this theater is between the Allies and Japan, the latter occupying the Philippines during the war.
The Japanese Instrument of Surrender was the written agreement that enabled the Surrender of Japan, ending World War II.

Before.
It ended with the surrender of Japan.
Japan was the last of the remaining axis powers in WWII, and its surrender ended WWII, as the axis forces had been completely defeated
Japan had a policy of Never Surrender No Matter what. It was necessary first to burn Japan cities from the air, and then to drop 2 atomic bombs in order to force Japan to surrender. If Japan had been invaded in November 1945, it probably would have cost 1 Million Allied lives, and 2 Million Japanese lives! Bombing Japan and getting them to surrender saved far more lives than it killed.
