Answer:
taking on greater global responsibility
Explanation:
The World War II took place soon after the 1st World War. It started in the year 1939 and ended in the year 1945. Soon after the 2nd world war, the United States of America occupied Japan and then joined the NATO.

The King's family saved his life.
Alberta Williams King, the mother of Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed in the church by Marcus Wayne Chenault six years after the association of her son (1974). She was 69 years old.
Her killer was a 23-year-old black man from Ohio. He stated that he shot Mrs. King because she was a Christian and all Christians 'were his enemies'. His original target was Martin Luther King Sr., but his wife was closer to be reached.
<em>He was sentenced to death but it was because of the King's family that his life was spared.</em> The Kings are firmly opposed to the death penalty so they pushed for his sentence to be changed into life in prison. Chanault died in prison after suffering a stroke.
