During World War II, the 'D-Day' invasion of Normandy (France) on June 6, 1944, was important for many reasons. Perhaps above all, it represented the Allies' attempt to open the long-awaited Second Front in the European Theater, which would both bring relief to the Soviet armies on the Eastern Front and bring the free world one step closer to defeating Hitlerite Germany.

D-Day, the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, was primarily caused by the need to establish a Western front against Nazi Germany during World War II. The planning was influenced by prior successes in North Africa and Italy, as well as the desire to relieve pressure on Soviet forces in the East. Weather conditions significantly affected the operation, with initial delays due to poor weather leading to a last-minute decision to proceed despite unfavorable conditions. This combination of strategic necessity and environmental factors shaped the outcome of the invasion.
