Answer:

Answers May vary, but your response should include the following points: Stalin promised at the Yalta conference that he would enter the war in the Pacific once Germany had surrendered in Europe. Although he kept his promise, the United States didn’t seem to need his help after the bomb was dropped on Japan. Stalin rushes to establish a Soviet but hold on Manchuria and Korea. Having join the war against Japan, the Soviets expect to have a say in how Japan’s holding would be divided up among the victorious allies.

At the Yalta Conference in February, 1945, Stalin had agreed to enter the war against Japan three months after Germany was defeated.  Victory in Europe was achieved on May 8, 1945.  The Soviet Union declared war on Japan on August 8, 1945, and invaded Manchuria with over a million troops to take on the Japanese army there.

As to the dropping of the second atomic bomb, even the dropping of the first could be challenged when factoring in the USSR.  An option to dropping atomic bombs was to enlist Soviet troops in a joint invasion of Japan.  But the USA wanted to avoid postwar Soviet presence in Japan, and the atomic bombs were seen as a way of ending the war quickly.  As to the use of a second bomb at Nagasaki after the first was dropped on Hiroshima, it was because of the Allies' requirement that Japan submit to an unconditional surrender.  They did not do so in the immediate aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing, so the second bomb was used.  You can consider for yourself whether some other resolution besides "unconditional surrender" was a viable option.

Answer:

The fall of the Berlin Wall/end of the Cold War

Explanation:

On November 9, 1989, as the Cold War began to thaw across Eastern Europe, the spokesman for East Berlin’s Communist Party announced a change in his city’s relations with the West. Starting at midnight that day, he said, citizens of the GDR were free to cross the country’s borders. East and West Berliners flocked to the wall, drinking beer and champagne and chanting “Tor auf!” (“Open the gate!”). At midnight, they flooded through the checkpoints.

More than 2 million people from East Berlin visited West Berlin that weekend to participate in a celebration that was, one journalist wrote, “the greatest street party in the history of the world.” People used hammers and picks to knock away chunks of the wall–they became known as “mauerspechte,” or “wall woodpeckers”—while cranes and bulldozers pulled down section after section. Soon the wall was gone and Berlin was united for the first time since 1945. “Only today,” one Berliner spray-painted on a piece of the wall, “is the war really over.”
