The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held after World War II to prosecute high-ranking Nazi officials for war crimes. The trials were conducted by the Allied powers and took place in Nuremberg, Germany. The International Military Tribunal was established to address charges such as conspiracy to wage aggressive war, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Hermann Goering, a prominent defendant, was known for his strategic defense. The trials lasted 218 days, resulting in several death sentences and prison terms. The Nuremberg Trials set a precedent for international justice, despite not preventing future conflicts.
