Both strategies were aimed at ending the war, waiting for the unconditional surrender of the enemy.

Explanation:

• The battle of Normandy, codenamed Operation Overlord, was the military operation carried out by the Allies during World War II that culminated in the liberation of the territories of Western Europe occupied by Nazi Germany. The operation began on June 6, 1944, better known as D-Day, with the Normandy landing; All naval operations received the code name Operation Neptune. An airborne assault carried out by one thousand two hundred aircraft preceded the amphibious landing, which involved five thousand ships. On June 6, one hundred and sixty thousand soldiers crossed the English Channel to France and by the end of August the Allied troops on French soil were more than three million.

• The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuclear attacks ordered by Harry S. Truman, president of the United States, against the Empire of Japan. The attacks were carried out on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively, which contributed, together with the Soviet-Japanese War, to the surrender of Japan and the end of World War II. After six months of intense bombing of 67 other cities, the Little Boy nuclear weapon was dropped on Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945, followed by the detonation of the Fat Man bomb on Thursday, August 9 on Nagasaki. Between 105,000 and 120,000 people died and 130,000 were injured. To date, these bombings are the only nuclear attacks in history.
