There are various points where people claim WWII ended. The famous ones (Besides August 15th and September 2nd, 1945) are the Treaty of San Francisco, which went into effect in 1952, and the 1990 treaty. Some lesser known ones include January 25th, 1955, which is when the Soviets officially announced the end of hostilities between them and Germany (I think they're the last country to do so).
It is worth noting that the last actual combat operations of World War II ended on September 1st, 1945 with the conclusion of the Soviet invasion of the Kurils.
