Question 4 • WA-Washington State History (HS)

What significant event happened in May 1945 that helped end the war?

Answer

A

Germany launched a successful attack on Britain.

B

Japan launched a successful attack against the United States.

C

Japan surrendered, bringing fighting to an end in the Pacific.

D

Germany surrendered, bringing fighting to an end in Europe.

Explanation

Germany surrendered in May 1945, and the surrender took effect on May 8, ending the war in Europe. Fighting against Japan in the Pacific continued until Japan surrendered later that year, so choice C does not describe an event in May.
