Question

Why were US celebrations somewhat subdued during "VE" day? Question 5 options: The US had lost more troops than Britain or France The US knew it had to rebuild its country. The US knew that the Soviet Union posed a bigger threat than Germany The US still had to defeat Japan

Answer 1

The answer is: The US still had to defeat Japan

VE day refers to the day when the Nazi surrendered to the alliance during the world war ii, which occurs on May 3rd 1945.

At that time, our enemy during world war Ii was not Germany alone. Germany formed a strong coalition with Italy and Japan in a group called the Axis-power.

Italy has surrendered 2 years before Germany. Which means that after the VE day, United states still had to defeat Japan who had a very strong foothold in Asian territory.
