End of the Prague Uprising Celebrations

May 8th, 1945 80 years ago

The Prague Uprising culminated on May 8, 1945, when citizens of Prague rose against Nazi occupation as the Soviet Red Army closed in. The uprising was marked by intense street fighting and civilian engagement as they fought for liberation. The efforts of the resistance fighters, particularly the Czech National Council, were crucial in securing control over the city. The uprising was part of the larger context of World War II's final days in Europe, ultimately leading to the liberation of Prague and a shift towards post-war reconstruction.
