Answer 1

The correct answer of question 2 is B. Tens of thousands of citizens were killed instantly and tens of thousands more later died from radiation poisoning.

As a result of the nuclear attack launched by the United States on Japan, approximately 140,000 people were reported dead immediately in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki. In subsequent years, a similar number of people who died of poisoning due to the radioactivity derived from these attacks are calculated.

The correct answer of question 3 is D. The Allies had agreed to concentrate first on the war in Europe.

Between January and March 1941, a few months before Japan invaded Pearl Harbor, there had been a meeting of the United States and Great Britain in Washington, where the "First Europe" or "First Germany" strategy was established.

This strategy established that even if Japan entered the war, the United States would focus mainly on defeating Germany in Europe and keeping the Pacific area under control with less resources so that once defeated Germany would face Japan all the Aligned Powers in set.
