Important Questions (2 marks): Nazism & The Rise of Hitler - Question 8
Save

Assertion (A): Japan bombed the US naval base at Pearl Harbour.
\nReason (R): The US entered the Second World War.

Detailed Solution: Question 8

World War II was fought between the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) and the Allied powers (initially Britain and France). The US initially avoided joining the war due to losses from World War I. However, Japan's expansionist policies led it to bomb the US naval base at Pearl Harbour in December 1941. This event enraged the US, prompting its entry into WWII. The US's involvement significantly contributed to the Allied victory, culminating in the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which ended the war.

Thus, both the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation for (A). This aligns with NCERT content on the Pacific War and US entry into WWII.
