The Bombing of Dresden refers to the air raids carried out by Allied air forces on the German city of Dresden in February 1945.

British and American bombers conducted successive raids on the city, and the large-scale fires caused by incendiary bombs destroyed much of the city center. The attack, which resulted in a high number of civilian deaths, is considered an important example of the debates concerning the ethical dimension of strategic bombing.
