Rome and allies versus Carthage, and the Western Europe people at the centre of the contest.
The Axis Powers in Europe formally surrendered to the Allied Forces.
The allies were desperate as the German force threatened to overwhelm all of Europe. Additionally, the Soviets needed the creation of a "Second Front" to relieve pressure on the eastern front. Without a successful operation, the allies may not have been able to get all the necessary supplies and troops into Mainland Europe.
Western Europe has been involved in more foreign affairs than Eastern Europe. As well, during the second World War, Eastern Europe was mostly Axis, while Western Europe was mostly Allies.

Emperor Hirohito (1901-1989) was the leader of Japan from December 1926 until he surrendered to the Allies in 1945 after the U.S. dropped the second atom bomb in Nagasak
In World War II, the greatest problem for the Allies in establishing a second front in Europe was the shortage of landing craft. To be successful, amphibious landings on defended shores required large first waves of attackers supported by vehicles followed up by substantial reinforcements, including more vehicles. All this required landing craft in such numbers as the Allies weren't able to muster until 1944.
