What attitude or mood does the soldier show?
How does that relate to the words in the passage?
Nazis Defeated
The war in Europe neared its end by the spring of 1945. The Axis powers were defeated for
several reasons: they could not wage war successfully on several fronts; Hitler underestimated
the Soviet army; the U.S. was able to produce more than the combined Axis powers; and oil
became too scarce to feed Luftwaffe planes.
Struggle for the Pacific
In the summer of 1942, the U.S. went on the offensive in the Pacific. Victory on Guadalcanal
started a campaign of “island-hopping” that would move U.S. bases closer to Japan.

Defeat for Japan
When the Japanese showed that they would fight to the death rather than surrender, president
Truman decided to use an atomic bomb to save American lives. Two atomic bombs were dropped
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Japanese surrendered.
