Answer 1

The statement that correctly compares atrocities committed by Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan during WWII is:

Both the Nazis and Japanese used racial superiority as a justification for the imprisonment and extermination of groups of people.

While both regimes committed horrific atrocities, their ideologies and the specific groups they targeted varied significantly. The Nazis primarily focused on Jews, Romani people, and other groups based on a specific racial ideology. The Japanese, on the other hand, promoted a sense of racial superiority over other Asian peoples, leading to brutal occupation and atrocities in places like China and Korea.
