What happened during Nuremberg?

The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held after World War II, from 1945 to 1946, to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and other offenses. The most notable trial, known as the Nuremberg Trial, involved 24 major war criminals, including Hermann Göring and Rudolf Hess, with charges based on their roles in the Holocaust and aggressive warfare. The trials established important precedents in international law, including the principles of accountability for individuals and the concept of crimes against humanity. They also highlighted the importance of justice in the aftermath of atrocities.
