The answer is D.

From 1944 to 1945, the Allied forces implemented strategic bombing raids in Japan. The casualties of Japanese citizens was between 241,000 and 900,000. By the time the United States dropped the atomic bombs, Japan was severely injured from this firebombing.

Answer: D) noting that firebombing had already caused extensive damage in Japan.

Close to the end of World War II, the United States detonated two nuclear weapons over Hiroshima (August 6, 1945) and Nagasaki (August 9, 1945), two Japanese cities. The United States dropped the bombs after obtaining the consent of the United Kingdom. The two bombings killed 129,000-226,000 people, mostly civilians.

Before the atomic bombs, the allies had already conducted many air raids on Japan. Strategic bombing raids began in June 1944 and continued until the end of the war. These attacks destroyed about 67 Japanese cities. These extensive attacks and the damage they had caused were some of the main arguments used by supporters of the atomic bomb.

However, during the planning of the nuclear attacks, the Air Forces were looking for cities that had not been damaged extensively by the raids, as they believed this would make the assessment of the damage more accurate.

PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

1. The first president under the Constitution, George Washington, in his Farewell Address warned against forming political parties, but his immediate successors didn't listen. John Adams (Federalist) and Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican) fought bitter contests in 1796 (Adams won) and 1800 (Jefferson won). It is the natural instinct of politicians to align with like-minded individuals and want to govern based on ideology rather than to just solve problems one-by-one as they arise. Because the first time two people had a discussion about politics and decided to cooperate toward common goals, in effect the first political party was formed. That’s all a party is.

2. The federalists believed in a strong central government and its proactive involvement in commerce. In general, the federalists were elitists who opposed measures to democratize American politics. In the realm of international relations, federalists were admirers of Great Britain and detractors of the French.


3. Christianity is the most widely professed religion in the Dominican Republic. Historically, Catholicism dominated the religious practices of the country, and as the official state religion it receives financial support from the government. In modern times Protestant and non-Christian groups, such as Muslims and Jews, have experienced a population boom.
