When did the united states of america formally become a sovereign nation

explanation:

there are two statements that are incorrect.

1. the marshall plan was a lend lease program. it was an economic plan that europe redevelop itself after wwii.

2. einstein didn't really do anything to further the allied cause in building the bomb. he merely sent a letter to fdr telling him (in 1939) that if the united states entered the war, perhaps it would be wise to build the bomb before germany did. i would say this answer is incorrect, but when america entered the war 2 years later, fdr thought it might be a good idea to take einstein's advice.

the 4th choice is definitely so wrong that is likely the single answer of this question

the fact that could also be added to column b is that during world war ii, specifically between the years 1941 and 1945, japan expanded its territory towards the indonesian territory in what was known later as part of the "pacific war". in that time, japan could conquer the philipines, singapore,   borneo, central java, malang, cebu, sumatra and various other islands of the area, therefore expanding its territory for a brief period of time.
