Answer 1

1. True - The Neutrality Act of 1939 permitted the sale of arms and munitions to belligerent nations on a "cash-and-carry" basis.

2. True - The European Theater was indeed a higher priority for the Allies early in World War II, often receiving more resources and reinforcements than the Pacific Theater.

3. False - The Battle of Midway was a significant naval battle in June 1942 that turned the tide of the war in the Pacific but did not serve as a direct prediction of what an invasion of Japan would be like.

4. False - Truman's decision to use atomic bombs on Japan was influenced by several factors, including the desire to end the war swiftly and minimize further casualties, not solely as retaliation for Pearl Harbor.
