The correct answer is: C. 8 May and 9 May.
The United Nations General Assembly designated 8 May and 9 May as the Time of Remembrance and Reconciliation for Those Who Lost Their Lives during the Second World War. These dates mark the anniversary of the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Germany’s unconditional surrender of its armed forces. The surrender took place on 8 May 1945 in Reims, France, and was formally ratified on 9 May 1945 in Berlin.
The Time of Remembrance and Reconciliation is an opportunity to remember the victims of the Second World War and to reflect on the lessons of that conflict. It is also a time to reaffirm the commitment of the international community to peace and security.
Option A, 23 August, is the date of the Soviet Union’s victory over Japan in World War II. Option B, 12 August, is the date of the bombing of Hiroshima by the United States. Option D, 14 November, is the date of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which is considered to be the event that triggered the outbreak of World War I.
