Can you please point out 3 cause and effect sentences in this passage:

China Under Attack
By Jonathan Miedel, Yough Middle School, Ruffsdale, Pa.
Japan attacked China in 1937, launching the second Chinese-Japanese
War. At first, Japanese forces overpowered the Chinese. But when
Japan bombed the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in 1941, China
gained a powerful ally—the United States. The United States dropped
two atomic bombs on Japan in 1945, forcing the country to surrender
and ending World War II and the Chinese-Japanese War. Jonathan
Miedel talked to his grandmother, Mary Yu Chang, about growing up in
China during the war.
When the war began, my grandmother was only 6 years old. Her
family lived in Shanghai, but her father had to leave because his job
had been moved to the temporary capital, Chongqing.
When he realized that the situation in Shanghai was getting worse, he
sent for his family to join him.
The most direct route from Shanghai to Chongqing was by boat on the
Yangtze River. However, the Japanese had occupied many coastal
cities by that time. My grandmother’s family had to take a huge
detour1. They traveled by sea to Hong Kong, then to North Vietnam.
Then the rest of the trip was in crowded diesel trucks traveling through
the mountains. "On some of the sharpest turns, some of the trucks slid
off the edge of the cliffs," my grandmother recalled.
Every time someone heard an airplane, the passengers would jump
out of the trucks and crawl on their hands and knees through
cornfields. My grandmother said that the leaves would cut her face.
Everybody was covered in blood and mud.
When my grandmother and her family finally arrived, Chongqing was
extremely crowded with refugees. Fortunately, her dad’s company had
houses for its employees. My grandmother’s new house only had two
rooms, so it was extraordinarily cramped.

When my grandmother was 8, her mother contracted tuberculosis2
and died. Her dad hired a caretaker to take care of my grandmother
and her brother. On nice days, the caretaker would send my
grandmother out to the rice paddies3 to collect slugs. Then the
caretaker would fry the slugs4
with peppers. Peach trees provided
another source of food. My grandmother would climb the sticky trees
to get the fruit. She stated this was the one time during the war when
she actually enjoyed herself.
During her time in Chongqing, there were many air raids5. The city
had a detailed plan in the event of an air raid. If the siren went off and
only one ball was placed on top of the pole on the mountain, it meant
school was over. If a siren went off and two balls were on top of the
mountain, everyone ran to the man-made tunnels in the mountain for
shelter.
During one of these attacks, bombs destroyed the tunnel next to the
one my grandmother was in. She said that everybody inside was
killed.
The war ended in 1945, when my grandmother was 12. On the return
trip to Shanghai, her family took the direct route, along the Yangtze
River.
Conclusion: This story taught me how terrible war can be. I learned
that Chongqing was bombed more than 5,000 times during a five-year
period. I never realized how much war could change everyday life. I
believe my grandmother learned many valuable lessons in a difficult
way. I hope these events have taught the world the terrible outcomes
of war.

2 tuberculosis: a disease that affects the lungs 3 rice paddies: irrigated or flooded fields where rice is grown 4
slug: a long wormlike land mollusk that is related to the snail but has an underdeveloped shell or no shell

Here's the first cause and effect statement I see.

"But when
Japan bombed the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in 1941, China
gained a powerful ally—the United States."

Cause: Japan bombed the U.S. naval base
Effect: China gained a powerful ally -- the United States.

Now -- can you find two more cause-effect statements?

You are very welcome, Amber.

Ms. Sue I found one more but cna you please

give the last one? Pretty please with cheese on top?

Well -- I'm tempted -- by cheese on top.

However, I'm sure you'll find another cause and effect statement if you take a few more minutes. :-)

Sure! Here are three cause and effect sentences in the passage:

1. Cause: Japan attacked China in 1937.
Effect: Japanese forces overpowered the Chinese at first.

2. Cause: Japan bombed the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Effect: China gained a powerful ally—the United States.

3. Cause: The United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan in 1945.
Effect: Japan was forced to surrender, ending World War II and the Chinese-Japanese War.
