The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held after World War II to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. The trials took place in Nuremberg, Germany, from November 20, 1945, to October 1, 1946.
The most famous of these trials was the International Military Tribunal (IMT), which involved 24 leading Nazi officials, including figures such as Hermann Göring, Rudolf Hess, and Joachim von Ribbentrop. They were charged with a range of offenses, including waging aggressive war, violating the laws and customs of war, and committing crimes against humanity.
The Nuremberg Trials were significant for establishing a precedent for the prosecution of wartime atrocities and laid the groundwork for modern international law. The trials also highlighted the principles of accountability and justice at an international level, asserting that individuals, including heads of state and military leaders, could be held accountable for their actions during wartime.
