Which process sought to punish prominent members of political military and economic leadership of Nazi Germany following their defeat in 1945?

The process that sought to punish prominent members of the political, military, and economic leadership of Nazi Germany following their defeat in 1945 was known as the Nuremberg Trials. These trials, held from 1945 to 1946, aimed to bring Nazi war criminals to justice for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and other offenses. Key figures, including military leaders and government officials, were tried in an effort to establish accountability and promote the rule of law in post-war Europe. The trials set important precedents for international law and the prosecution of war crimes.
