I'd have thought Germany was the last country liberated from Nazi rule.

Geographic Location: The Netherlands is located in northwestern Europe, bordering Germany and the North Sea. As such, it was deeply affected by the close proximity to Nazi Germany. After D-Day (June 6, 1944), when the Allies began liberating other parts of Western Europe, the Netherlands became a focal point for further campaigns. However, due to its proximity to German territory, liberating it required prolonged and intense military efforts.
2. Prolonged Occupation:
After D-Day, Allied forces began pushing eastward from France and Belgium toward Germany, which ultimately led to the slow liberation of the Netherlands. However, significant delays occurred due to heavy German resistance and the need for precise coordination between multiple Allied forces to secure key areas. The final liberation of the Netherlands was hindered by harsh winter conditions, supply shortages, and tough German defenses.
3. Operation Market Garden:
In September 1944, Operation Market Garden was launched with the goal of swiftly liberating the Netherlands by securing key bridges across the country. Although ambitious, it ended in failure, which delayed the full liberation of the Netherlands until early May 1945.
Thus, the combination of difficult geography, strong German defenses, and the complexities of Allied coordination meant the Netherlands was the last Western European country to be liberated from Nazi occupation.
