Solution

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