Define "major", and we can talk more.

If we define "major" as "events which changed or could have changed the path of history", there are a dozen or more.

In Europe:

Dunkirk

Battle of Britain

the U-Boat "battle of the Atlantic"

Battle of Stalingrad

Normandy Invasion of France

Battle of the Bulge

In the Pacific

Pearl Harbor

Battle of Midway

Battle for Guadalcanal and the Solomon Islands

Invasion of Guam and Siapan (Remember that the B-29s which bombed Japan were based in Saipan)

Battle of Iwo Jima (Iwo Jima was the base for Japanese fighters attacking the B-29s from Siapan. When taken, it became an emergency repair base for B-29s too badly damaged to get back to Saipan.)

Battle of Leyte Gulf and the invasion of the Philippines

Battle of Okinawa and the Kamikaze attacks
