I was still working on me and Sam's project on the Pacific Front. It was also called the Asian-Japan War. Countries of the Allied Powers stopped trading raw materials to Japan. It was a mountainous country so they didn't have very many raw materials. So they invaded Manchuria, China, and the Phillipines. They invaded Manchuria because they were really rich in materials. GB and USA declared war on Japan. Battle of Midway, Japan dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan Aug. 6,1945..

Atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki that US did because Japan didn't surrender during Hiroshima, Aug 9, 1945. 5 days later Japan surrendered. Which ended WW2.
