Solution

The correct option is C 1945, Nagasaki bombing
The Second World War started when Germany attacked Poland on 1 September 1939. The Allied powers were dragged into the War, which raged on for six years. Japan and Italy were on the Axis side.

The War ultimately ended when the last Axis power, Japan, surrendered after the devastating bombing of its cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
