Question 3 • World History

What was one reason the Operation Barbarossa became a turning point in the war?

Answer
A
The Soviet army surrendered, giving the Germans more territory.
B
The German army suffered massive casualties.
C
The German army attacked in the middle of winter.
D
The Soviet army was not prepared to fight in the cold weather.

Explanation

Operation Barbarossa was Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union. The German advance eventually stalled, and German forces suffered massive casualties, weakening them and helping shift the war’s momentum toward the Soviet Union. The invasion began in June, not in the middle of winter, so choice B is incorrect.
