World War 2 had been in progress for five years prior to D-Day. The Allied forces had gained the upper hand in naval battles in the Atlantic and North Africa, and the next logical step in winning the war was to liberate the European mainland. Several other invasions took place to do so, such as operation Market Garden and the invasion of Italy, but D-Day is the most famous because it was the most successful. The allied leaders felt a naval invasion was the best way to liberate Europe, and spent several years amassing allied forces in England in preparation for the invasion. After several days of bad weather and unfavorable tides, the Allies decided on June 6, 1944 to land the 175,000 troops on the beaches of France. D-Day was the started the liberation of Europe and the eventual defeat of the Germans. in summary, the need to liberate Europe was recognized and the allied leaders decided an invasion like D-Day was the best way to do it.
