Nazism was a political and social ideology that emerged in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s, led by the National Socialist German Workers' Party, which preached the superiority of the Aryan race and promoted anti-Semitism. During World War II, the Nazi regime led a series of invasions and territorial conquests in Europe and began the systematic genocide of millions of people, including Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and other minorities.

With the victory of the allies on May 8, 1945, the Nazi regime was defeated and Europe was freed from Nazi control and oppression.

The fall of Nazism represented a milestone in world history and reaffirmed the value of democracy, human rights and peace.
