The use of atomic bombs affect the events of World War II by forcing Japan to surrender to the United States

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The surrender was done as a consequence of consecutive bombings done on 6th and 9th August in the year of 1945. The declaration of surrender was hence done 15th August same year and was then signed on 2nd September same year formally. There was a suspicious threat of a third bombing over Japan by the United States, over Kyushu.

The surrender was made unconditional and that led to the formal end of the war, that is, World War II. Russia then adopted the race of arms against US. So, concluding that the atomic bombing over Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki led to the enforced surrender of Japan.
