Nuremberg Trials

After World War II, the victorious Allies launched an indictment against 24 individuals with a variety of crimes, including the deliberate instigation of aggressive wars, extermination of racial and religious groups, murder and mistreatment of prisoners of war, and the deportation to slave labor of hundreds of thousands of people living in countries occupied by Germany during the war. Among the accused were Nationalists Socialists leaders Rudolf Hess, and Hermann Goring. These trials lasted from November 20, 1945 …

…To accuse some countries for acts of violence during the war and not others does not make sense. The Nuremberg Trials should have been performed in a more just and fair manner. They should not have been controlled by only the Allied forces; this made the trials unjust and biased. Each side was guilty of the crimes committed. The trials were very corrupt and the Germans were not given their fair chance at defending themselves.
