Answer:

B. They were used to attack civilian centers rather than military targets.

Explanation:

The concept of total war is used in political science and international relations in order to describe a type of warfare in which all infrastructure and resources, including civilian ones, are considered legitimate military targets. Moreover, a country engaged in a total war will give priority to military concerns over any others. This was the case of the attack on Japan during WWII, as Hiroshima and Nagasaki were cities with millions of civilians, and not military targets.

Japanese occupation weakened european and american colonial establishments. What was going on at this time, before the outbreak

hichkok12 [17]

Japan needed more land to feed its people, it turned to war for this. When they started attacking small nations no one was too worried. Then they went for bigger areas and the United States retaliated. It is said the U.S.A did nothing to stop Japan at the beginning, but they did. The United States embargoed Japan, this made even more complications in the Japanese empire. Japan later went on to attack Pearl Harbor and the Philippines as a result. Keep in mind, the only reason America embargoed japan was due to their aggressive expansion.
