Answer 1

The Second World War ended when the United States dropped two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.

Explanation:

The Second World War ended in August 1945, when the United States dropped two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, forcing Japan to surrender. Furthermore, this action was criticized because the US knew Japan was about to surrender and that dropping bombs was unnecessary. The US action was intended to prevent the Soviet Union from making military and political gains in Asia and elsewhere, as well as to demonstrate the US's supremacy.
