The Axis countries (primarily Germany, Italy & Japan) had been at war with the Allies (Britain, France, Russia & others) since late 1939 and had achieved many victories. Europe was completely conquered (including France), leaving Britain isolated. The Japanese had taken over large parts of China and the Pacific Ocean. Russia was in danger of collapsing under a German attack that started in mid-1941. The United States had maintained its neutrality during this time but was under heavy pressure to come to Britain's aid. The Japanese staged a pre-emptive attack against the American naval base at Pearl Harbor in December 1941, figuring that the Americans would enter the war sooner or later and hoping to destroy their fleet before it could go into action. America then declared war against Japan and its allies (Germany & Italy). This was a turning point because it brought the enormous military power of the United States against the Axis countries.
This question needs more information. Please clarify who the turning point affected. Does the question refer to Americans, English or Canadians or another nation? Also was it supposed to affect the government or the general populous? The turning point of the war could have been anything, bombing of Pearl Harbor, the bombing of Poland or the Battle of Britain. Thank you.
1898 was a turning point for the United States because the Treaty of Paris was signed by the United States and Spain. After the treaty was ratified, the United States became and imperial power. The United States gained Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines from the treaty.
The Civil War was a turning point in the history of the United States. Before the Civil War, the country was divided in its attitudes, exemplified by saying "the United States are;" after the war, people said, "the United States is," showing a unity that had not previously existed.

The Tet Offensive was a large scale offensive campaign made by the communist Vietcong forces during the Vietnam war. Despite a victory for the United States of America and her allies on the battlefield this did prove to be a turning point in the war.

There were many turning points in the history of the United States including the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the ratification of the Constitution, the passing of the Civil Rights Act, and the Treaty of Versailles.
Enslaved people were no longer imported from Africa to the United States

It miraculously doubled the size of the United States. Without it, the United States wouldn't be the same. It gave the United States access to a water route. This helped promote the United States. It continued to develop and grow over time until it became the United States we know and love today.
The Civil war was a major turning point because it made us THE United States. It made the U.S. Whole. Also it got rid of slavery, and led the fight against segregation.
If the enlightenment didn't happen, we would still have kings. The forms of a constitutional monarchy or a republic (such as the United States has) would not be in existence. So yes this is probably the second biggest turning point in world history after the Renaissance.
