English: Operation August Storm was the codename for the Soviet invasion of Manchukuo, Mengjiang, Korea, the southern portion of Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, and Hokkaido. This was the initial action of the Soviet Union against the Empire of Japan. At the Yalta Conference, it had agreed to allied pleas to break the neutrality pact with Japan and enter the Second World War's Pacific theatre, but not until three months of the end of the war in Europe.
Italiano: La guerra Unione Sovietica-Giappone fu un conflitto fra queste due nazioni svoltosi tra l'8 e il 31 agosto 1945. La guerra fu dichiarata da Josif Stalin l'8 agosto 1945, a mezzanotte e, dieci minuti dopo, le truppe dell'Armata Rossa dettero inizio ad una "guerra-lampo" che portò in pochi giorni alla conquista della Manciuria.
