Answer 1

Answer:

The event/action pictured in the photo is hurting the Axis powers as a group during WWII

Explanation:

Although it can be assured that wether or not the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the United States of America would have joined the war… there is one key difference if they wouldn’t have done what they did. See in WWII timing was everything so it is believed that if the USA hadn’t declared war so soon the “Victory in Europe” (purely speculative) would have almost surely been a victory for  Powers. (Sorry if this doesn’t help I tried :/ )
