4 Select the correct answer. Read this excerpt from a leaflet that the United States circulated in Japan in 1945. Then answer th

e question that follows. The Soviet Union, because of this rejection on the part of the military, has notified your Ambassador Sato that it has declared war on your nation. Thus, all powerful countries of the world are now at war with you. Also, because of your leaders' refusal to accept the surrender declaration that would enable Japan to honorably end this useless war, we have employed our atomic bomb. A single one of our newly developed atomic bombs is actually the equivalent in explosive power to what 2000 of our giant B-29s could have carried on a single mission. Radio Tokyo has told you that with the first use of this weapon of total destruction, Hiroshima was virtually destroyed. Before we use this bomb again and again to destroy every resource of the military by which they are prolonging this useless war, petition the emperor now to end the war. Our president has outlined for you the thirteen consequences of an honorable surrender. We urge that you accept these consequences and begin the work of building a new, better, and peace-loving Japan. Based on the excerpt, which sentence best summarizes the Allies reason for using the atomic bomb on Japan? A. The United States wanted to make Japan surrender before the Soviets arrived. B. Japan was prolonging a terrible and bloody war that had an inevitable outcome. C. An atomic bomb caused damage more efficiently than B-29 bombers. D. Nations that failed to surrender to the Allies were asking for a nuclear attack.

<u>Answer: </u>

Based on the excerpt, the sentence that best summarizes the Allies' reason for using the atomic bomb on Japan is that Japan was prolonging a terrible and bloody war that had an inevitable outcome.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • The warning that Soviet Russia had also jumped into the war against Japan was to make the people of Japan understand the threat and pressurize the emperor to surrender honorably.
  • The leaflet itself was to make the commoners of Japan realize that what their emperor was trying to continue was eventually going to make Japan pay a huge cost if their emperor doesn't choose to back out.
