Answer 1

Hint: World war two or the Second World War had divided all the countries into two major groups namely the Axis and the Allies. It was one of the deadliest wars which had led to the loss of more civilian lives as compared to military lives and it is the only war where Nuclear weapons were used.

Complete answer: The Second World War began when Germany tried to invade Poland which led to a further invasion by the United Kingdom and France in Germany in the year 1939. Later almost all major countries became part of this war and were divided into two major military powers which were Axis and Allies. Germany had conquered many of its neighbors and made an axis alliance with Italy and Japan. The Allies alliance included major powers such as Britain, France, Russia, and the United States. Germany as mentioned before had already conquered its neighboring countries including Finland, Romania, and Poland. France saw its decline in the war by the mid-1940s after which the war was fought mainly between the axis union and the United Kingdom. The Soviet Union was invaded in the year 1941 in the war of attrition. The war continued for a very long time and led to a huge loss of economy and mankind.

So the correct option is (B) The Soviet Union. All the following nations were under Axis control by the end of 1940 except the Soviet Union.

Note: By the end of the war Germany was defeated by the western allies and the United States dropped its atomic bomb on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and this the Allies won the war which made a change in the political order of the world after which the united nations was established.
