Which army liberated the Netherlands and helped force the German surrender on May 08, 1945?

  1. The British Army

  2. The Canadian Army

  3. The American Army

  4. The Soviet Army

The correct answer is: The Canadian Army

The British and American armies played significant roles in liberating the Netherlands, but the Soviet Army did not directly contribute to the country's liberation. The American Army was primarily focused on the Western Front of Europe and did not heavily participate in the liberation of the Netherlands. The British Army did play a role in the liberation, but it was the Canadian Army that primarily led the assault, earning the nickname "Liberation of the Netherlands" by the Dutch.
