<u>More detail about the Lusitania incident:</u>
Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania. When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania in May, 1915, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship. Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks.
A couple years later, however, Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare. There was also an intercepted telegram (the "Zimmerman Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States. Those events in 1917 led the US to declare war on Germany in response.
Here's an an example of American feeling at the time of the Lusitania incident. Gifford Pinchot, who had been the Chief of the US Forestry Service (from 1905 to 1910) , was quoted in the New York Times in May, 1915, after he had just recently returned from Europe. He asserted that Americans on the Lusitania (along with other passengers) were killed because an autocratic military empire was trying to dominate nations that were self-governing. His characterization of German intentions mirrored how President Woodrow Wilson later called on the USA to enter the war to "make the world safe for democracy."

Explanation:
Before the dismantling of the political machines, the elected politician would usually just want to make life better for the ones who elected them. Many times, not even that. In political machines, there is a so called party whip structure with the boss or a few autocrats at the top. Only that was important and nothing more.
All of these choices are correct.
At the Yalta Conference in February, 1945, Stalin had agreed to enter the war against Japan three months after Germany was defeated. Victory in Europe was achieved on May 8, 1945. The Soviet Union declared war on Japan on August 8, 1945, and invaded Manchuria with over a million troops to take on the Japanese army there.
As to the dropping of the second atomic bomb, even the dropping of the first could be challenged when factoring in the USSR. An option to dropping atomic bombs was to enlist Soviet troops in a joint invasion of Japan. But the USA wanted to avoid postwar Soviet presence in Japan, and the atomic bombs were seen as a way of ending the war quickly. As to the use of a second bomb at Nagasaki after the first was dropped on Hiroshima, it was because of the Allies' requirement that Japan submit to an unconditional surrender. They did not do so in the immediate aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing, so the second bomb was used. You can consider for yourself whether some other resolution besides "unconditional surrender" was a viable option.
