It also depends on the theatre, the others all focus on Germany so "the allied forces took Berlin" or "Hitler shot himself" would potentially be more fitting, especially given Japan didn't de jure end the war until 1956

But the War continued after Berlin fell and Hitler shot himself.

Yeah but as I said, legally the war continued for over 10 years after the nukes were dropped on Japan, it's just the event that led to the end of the war in that theatre.
