Solution

The correct option is C Japan attacked Pearl Harbour.
Japan extended its dominance in the Pacific region, where the US had navy bases. It attacked Pearl Harbour, a USA navy base, in 1941, after which the US was forced to enter the war. In 1945, it deployed two nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, marking the end of the Second World War.
