Question

how did the war in europe come to an end?
allied forces seized germany from the east and west, forcing a surrender
allied forces seized italy, forcing mussolini to surrender his forces.
the german military overthrew hitler and surrendered to allied forces
the german government negotiated a cease - fire with the allies

Explanation:

During the end - stage of World War II in Europe, Soviet forces advanced from the east and Western Allied forces from the west into Germany. This encirclement forced Germany to surrender on May 8, 1945, effectively ending the war in Europe. The other options are incorrect as seizing Italy didn't end the war in Europe; the German military didn't overthrow Hitler and surrender in that way; and there was no negotiated cease - fire in the described manner.

Answer:

A. Allied forces seized Germany from the east and west, forcing a surrender
