Answer 2

Normandy Invasion: June 6, 1944: Allied landing at Normandy

Operation Market-Garden: September 17-Sept 25, 1944: Allied air-land attack in Holland, an attempt to cross the Rhine and get into Germany before Winter 1944

Battle of the Bulge: December 16, 1944-January 17, 1945: German attack meant to break up the Allied coherence

Crossing of the Rhine: March 7, 1945: Allies cross the Rhine in force

That covers the Western front alone. Lots more happened in the East, and in the Pacific.... but someone else can answer that part!
