Nuremberg Trials

All articles

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 crimes against peace. Held in Nuremberg, Germany, from November 1945 to October 1946, the trials were conducted by the Allied powers. Twelve top Nazi officials, including Hermann Göring and Rudolf Hess, were sentenced to death or imprisonment. Subsequent trials prosecuted other figures involved in Nazi policies, medical experimentation, and military operations. The Nuremberg Trials established important precedents for international law and justice.
