Question

The invasion of Normandy was significant because it:

A. ended World War II.
B. reduced Germany's hold on Europe.
C. ended the war in the Pacific
D. was Japan's first naval defeat in 350 years.

Answer 1

The invasion of Normandy was significant because it:

B. Reduced Germany's hold on Europe.

The German army suffered a catastrophe greater than that of Stalingrad,the defeat in North Africa,or the massive Soviet summer offensive of 1944.

Answer 2

The correct answer is: B) reduced Germany's hold on Europe.

The Invasion of Normandy, also known as D-Day was a battle in German-held Northern France that ended in an Allied victory. This win can be seen as the beginning of the end of the War as it resulted in the Allied liberation of Western Europe from the Nazis, and therefore reducing Germany's power over the continent.
