B) Event 2
C) Event 3
D) Event 4

Answer 1

The events in the order they occurred are: Event 1, Event 2, Event 3, Event 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Event 1: The rise of fascism in Italy and Germany continued unchecked. The Nazis were able to manipulate the situation to their diplomatic advantage and gain British and French acquiescence to the takeover of Austria and the Sudetenland (in Czechoslovakia) before any war began.
2. Event 2: The outbreak of World War II unveiled the Nazi military juggernaut, with several European countries quickly falling to Nazi control and Britain becoming an embattled country that sought new support and assurances from the United States.
3. Event 3: The Japanese attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in the Pacific in 1941 made the United States a full participant in the global war.
4. Event 4: The United States entered World War II after the attack on Pearl Harbor, marking a significant turning point in the conflict.
