Patton was very aggressive, and had an excellent ability to grasp a situation quickly.

Was George Patton the us commander of the 3RD and 1ST armies that invaded north Africa Sicily and great Britain?
You have to realize that General Patton rose up through the ranks during the first year of the war. Your question is very broad and covers almost a year. So you have to look at a specific time and battle.Patton commanded the Western Task Force, 24,000 men in 100 ships, in landings centered around Casablanca, Morocco, on 8 November 1942. After the defeat at the Battle of the Kasserine Pass, Patton replaced Major General Lloyd Fredendall as commander of the II Corps and was promoted to lieutenant general.For Operation Husky, the beginning of the invasion of Sicily, Patton was to command I Armored Corps, dubbed the Western Task Force. However, After landing, Patton's command was expanded and formed into the Seventh Army.He did not command British troops in North Africa or Sicily. After the fall of Sicily, Patton was sent back to England as a punishment for slapping a soldier in the hospital. He later commanded the Third Army in the breakout of Normandy and it became operational on 1 August 1944 .
How did general george s Patton change history?
Which General Patton? There were two, father and son; WWII Patton the father and Vietnam Patton the son. The son was a Colonel commanding the famed 11th ACR Blackhorse regiment in Vietnam and later general; the father commanded the 3rd Army in Europe in WWII and died in a car accident enroute to a hunting trip in Europe in 1945. Neither changed history but rather contributed to military history. Germany would've lost the war regardless of Patton's participation in it; ; Vietnam would've been lost regardless of Patton junior's contribution. The only solid change or contribution was Patton senior's legacy of "history" (which can be worded as "glory") in WWII and the 3 US Army medium gun tanks named after him: the M46 Patton, M47 Patton, and the M48 Patton. All were 90mm gun tanks. Patton junior's legacy was being the son of his father and also serving in a war and commanding a famous armored cavalry regiment. No other Pattons have served in combat and commanded an armored unit.
