Presentation transcript:

Getting to California Paris Liberation – seven weeks after the invasion of Normandy, Allied forces were able to liberate Paris with the help of the French Resistance (secretly organized civilians) Battle of the Bulge – The last offensive attack made by the Nazis in WWII that left Germany open to an invasion. V-E Day – as Germany retreated on both the western and eastern fronts, Hitler committed suicide rather than risk capture (4/30/45). The Germans attempted to negotiate peace with the British and U.S., but then surrendered unconditionally (5/8/45) Harry Truman – became President when FDR died (4/12/45). Had only been Vice President for 82 days. United Nations – international organization where disputes could be discussed rather than wars fought. Nuremberg Trials – German military leaders were put on trial for “crimes against humanity” after the war. 36 were executed and 107 were given prison sentences. Ch 20 Sec 5: V-E Day (Europe)
