The liberation of Bratislava refers to the period during World War II when the city of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, was freed from German forces and their allies. This occurred in April 1945, when Soviet forces of the Red Army, supported by units of the Czechoslovak Army, advanced into the region and ultimately liberated the city from Nazi occupation.
The liberation of Bratislava was a crucial event in the end of World War II in Central and Eastern Europe, marking the end of Nazi occupation in Slovakia and paving the way for the restoration of Slovak sovereignty. Following the liberation, Slovakia regained its independence as a republic and was able to rebuild after the devastation of the war.
