Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. Led the Japanese to surrender.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the German surrender in May 1945, the capitulation of the Japanese seemed imminent. The consecutive defeats in the southwestern Pacific, with the losses of the Philippines and the islands of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, led the Hirohito Empire to surrender. But this one never arrived. The wait led US President Harry S. Truman to order the launch of two atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
