Which Allied operation marked the invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe on June 6, 1944?

• A. D-Day
• B. Pearl Harbor
• C. Midway
• D. Okinawa

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is identifying the Allied invasion that opened a Western Front in World War II. On June 6, 1944, Allied forces landed in Normandy across five beaches—Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword—marking the start of the large-scale push into Nazi-occupied Europe. This day is commonly known as D-Day, while the overall operation was called Operation Overlord. This invasion established a Western Front, enabling the liberation of Paris later that year and the advance into Germany. The other events listed occurred in the Pacific Theater and at different times, not the June 6, 1944 assault in Europe.
