Question

Which of these resulted from the United States' use of atomic weapons against Japan? (1 point) The Soviet Union increased its efforts to develop an atomic bomb. German military leaders accepted harsh conditions for a cease-fire. The United Nations passed a resolution condemning the United States. President Truman was indicted by the UN Security Council for war crimes.

Answer 1

The only thing from the list that resulted from the United States' use of atomic weapons against Japan was that the "Soviet Union increased its efforts to develop an atomic bomb," since the Soviet Union was the rival super power of the United States after World War II. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is that the United States' use of atomic weapons against Japan motivated the Soviet Union to increase its efforts to develop an atomic bomb. United States and the Soviet Union were two main super powers in the world after the World War II, and they were two main counterparts in so called Cold War. It was a state of political and military tension after WW II between powers in the Western Block (USA and its NATO allies) and powers in Eastern Block (the Soviet Union and its allies in Warsaw pact).
