Iphigeneia, which was the girl's name, was either saved by the goddess and made into the immortal Hecate - or Orsilokhia, or made her a her priestess in Tauroi; either a stag or a bull replaced Iphigeneia as the sacrifice to Artemis.

What is Iphigenia's role in the Trojan war?
Iphigenia was the daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra. Agamemnon was the brother of Menelaus, the King of Sparta, and was unable to sail to Troy until he sacrificed Iphigenia to the goddess Artemis, since he had slain one of her woodland creatures. After sacrificing his daughter, Agamemnon was able to travel to- and fight in- the Trojan war.The death of Iphigenia plays a significant role following the Trojan war, as Clytemnestra was obviously furious at her husband for his actions. It was said that Clytemnestra killed Agamemnon upon his return, and considered this an 'execution' rather than a murder. This tale can be found in the play Agamemnon, by Aeschylus.

No, on the contrary. At the start of the Trojan War, when the Greek fleet had gathered at Aulis, Artemis stopped all winds, so the fleet could not sail.

Before the sacrifice was carried through, Artemis took the girl away and made her a priestess in Artemis' temple on another Island, Aulis.

How is Artemis connected with the Trojan War?
When Agamemnon had assembled the Greek fleet at Aulis, Artemis becalmed the sea, preventing the Greeks from sailing for Troy. The seer Kalkhas declared that the goddess was wrathful with Agamemnon and demanded the sacrifice of his eldest daughter Iphigeneia. In the Iliad, the Trojan hero Aineias was wounded in battle by Diomedes. Apollon lifted him up from the conflict and brought him to his temple where Artemis and Leto tended his wounds. After the death of Patroklos, Akhilleus' returned to the war, and Zeus again allowed the gods to return to Troy in support of their favourites. The divine factions then broke out into open conflict: Artemis stood against Hera and was beaten by the goddess.
