The end of World War II in the Pacific occurred after the first military use of
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Atomic weapons

Explanation:

Japanese expansion in East Asia began in 1931 with the invasion of Manchuria and continued in 1937 with a brutal attack on China. On September 27, 1940, Japan signed the Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy, thus entering the military alliance known as the "Axis." Seeking to curb Japanese aggression and force a withdrawal of Japanese forces from Manchuria and China, the United States imposed economic sanctions on Japan. Faced with severe shortages of oil and other natural resources and driven by the ambition to displace the United States as the dominant Pacific power, Japan decided to attack the United States and British forces in Asia and seize the resources of Southeast Asia. Japan launched a surprise attack on the United States Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941. The attack severely damaged the American fleet and prevented, at least for the short term, serious American interference with Japanese military operations. In response, the United States declared war on Japan. Following Germany's declaration of war on the United States, the United States also declared war on Germany..

How can the reader conclude that the passage takes place in the medieval period? The passage portrays a group of people watching
Umnica [9.8K]

We can conclude the passage is from a medieval period because it includes a monarch that rules or has power over other social classes (third option).

One of the characteristics that made Medieval society to be different from other societies was its social structure. In this social structure, the monarchy represented by the king, queen, or prince was the most powerful social class.

This means this class had power over others including knights, noblemen, and peasants. This characteristic is shown in the passage because Prine John is announced with trumpets and seems to be protected and respected by others including "horsemen, horsewomen, and foot-passengers."

Note: This question is incomplete because the passage it refers to is missing; here is the passage:

About the hour of ten o’clock, the whole plain was crowded with horsemen, horsewomen, and foot-passengers, hastening to the tournament; and shortly after, a grand flourish of trumpets announced Prince John and his retinue, attended by many of those knights who meant to take share in the game, as well as others who had no such intention.
