Best Answer

The short term goal of D-day was to establish a foothold on the European continent so that the allies could start their long walk across Europe reclaiming it from Nazi Germany. While the allies were motivated by many philosophical, political, theological, and humanitarian reasons the primary goal was to ensure that freedom and democracy prevail over fascism and Dictatorship.
