CLEP Western Civ II

Answer: C - D-Day was the turning point of World War II because it secured an Allied foothold on the path to Berlin. Fighting had been concentrated on the Eastern Front and North Africa, but the war would need to shift to Western Europe to secure an Allied victory. It was also the largest coordinated effort among international forces. With D-Day, the Allies had taken the first essential step toward driving the Germans out of France and back to the confines of Germany.
