Allied invasion
The Allied invasion refers to the military operation during World War II where Allied forces, primarily the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, launched an invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe. The most notable event was D-Day, on June 6, 1944, when troops landed on the beaches of Normandy, France. This invasion aimed to liberate Western Europe from German control. It was a crucial turning point in the war, leading to the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany in May 1945. The operation demonstrated extensive planning, coordination, and bravery among the Allied forces.
