What are Nuremberg Trials?
This was the series of military tribunals that were held under international law and the laws of War. This is the
biggest Trial of History that happened in Germany in Nuremberg. This was held for the prosecution of prominent members of the political, military, judicial, and economic leadership of
Nazi Germany especially for those, who participated in one way or the other in any Holocaust and other war crimes.
After the ending of the Second World War, many leaders were involved in the criminal activity in the war, including the military, doctors, politicians, and other leaders of the system. Hence to take action against all such people the international military tribunal was formed and the Trials were done in front of the tribunal.
