The Liberation of Rome

The Liberation of Rome is another name Toplist would like to mention. During World War II, the Liberation of Rome was a crucial turning point. Italy signed an armistice with the Allies after Mussolini was overthrown in 1943, but shortly afterward, Germany attacked and occupied the country's northern and center regions. The Allies succeeded in liberating Rome after nine months of fierce battle, and on June 4, 1944, they made their way into the city. Rome was the first capital to escape the Nazis' grasp as a result.

The Allies gained a lot of momentum and a strategic success, but they had no intention of resting on their laurels. Before the world could comprehend this information, another event occurred that grabbed everyone's attention. A gigantic Allied force stormed the beaches in Normandy on D-Day, the greatest seaborne invasion in history, to start the liberation of France just two days after Rome was freed.
