I would just like to say that this isn't my homework. It's from an article in the SF Chronicle. I thought it would be fun to share this.
@ Ibelfer:
I'm sorry if I've offended you. I just simply typed the questions as it was read in the article.
I thought it was interesting to read that some high school students fail their WWII quiz. The history teacher was upset about this and gave out the questions and answers to the SF Chronicle.

3.c. Hirohito tried to surrender after the first bomb, but a military coup put him under house arrest and he couldn't get the message out.
4 d. On our side. For the Axis Powers it was Racist, Corporatist Expansionism.
