1. why did german government most likely order the new jersey munitions bombings?

the u.s. refused to sell military supplies to germany.
the russians had invaded berlin.
the company charged germany more than other countries for weapons.
the us entered the war.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The U.S. refusing to sell military supplies to Germany isn't the main reason for the munitions bombings. The U.S. was supplying Allied powers, and Germany's action was more about disrupting U.S. support for enemies after the U.S. entered the war.
• Option 2: The Russians invading Berlin is not relevant to the New Jersey munitions bombings context (and the timing of such an invasion was different).
• Option 3: There's no indication the company charged Germany more; the issue was about U.S. supplying war materials to Germany's enemies.
• Option 4: When the US entered the war, it began supplying munitions to Germany's enemies. Germany ordered the bombings to disrupt the U.S. munitions production/supply to Allied forces.

Answer:

D. The US entered the war. (Note: Assuming the options are labeled A - D in order, with the last option being D. If the original options had different labels, adjust accordingly, but based on the order, the correct reasoning points to the last option about the US entering the war.)
