Answer 1

Japan surrendered in the Second World War because America launched aerial attacks on two Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Explanation:

Japan entered in this war in support of Germany. In 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbour and destroyed the American naval base. This resulted in America declaring war against Japan. Thus, the war field of Second World War expanded further. When Japan seemed to have been going ahead undaunted with their aggressive policies, America launched aerial attacks on two Japanese cities with atom bombs, first on Hiroshima and then Nagasaki.
