What is noted as bringing an end to six years of war in Europe?

  1. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

  2. The liberation of Auschwitz

  3. The German surrender on May 08, 1945

  4. The signing of the Treaty of Versailles

The correct answer is: The German surrender on May 08, 1945

In order to find the correct answer to this question, we need to look at the timeframe mentioned six years of war in Europe. This refers to World War II, which started in September 1939. The liberation of Auschwitz and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki both occurred in 1945, so it cannot be the correct answer as it only marks the end for certain parts of the world. The signing of the Treaty of Versailles ended World War I in 1919, which means it does not cover the six years of war mentioned. The correct answer is therefore C, the German surrender on May 08, 1945, which marks the end of World War II in Europe.
