The assasination in Sarajevo - the excuse for starting the war. The first use of poison gas. The first use of tanks. There were many other 'main events', but you asked for three.
To take out high value targets, radar, leaders, scouts, to act as counter snipers to minimize the effects of the enemy snipers to demoralize the enemy troops to act as "TOP COVER" for a ground action == ==

The Ross .303 rifle was initially issued to Canadian troops during World War 1. It was highly accurate, but due to its unreliability it was unsuitable for use in the muck and grime of the trenches and so was retained only by snipers and marksman. The rest of Canadian forces were reissued with the Lee-Enfield .303 SMLE.

The sniper always plays a significant role in any battle, but rarely in any war. In most cases wars are won or lost by major events like the capture of a Capital City, the surrender of a major battelfield command or the bombing of major cities as in the case of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WWII. Snipers perform with surgical expertise, but they rarely have targets of political or strategic value. The Battles of Leningrad and Stalingrad saw extensive use of snipers by both the Germans and the USSR and provide numerous stories of tactical victory. Each of these Battles was won by the big battalions, lack of adequate supplies and General Winter. The Pacific Campaign as seen through the eyes of Hollywood showed Japanese Snipers in the upper reaches of Palm trees decimating the invasion troops. High ground is desireable, but very few Real World snipers would select a firing position that offered a zero fall back position. Very few combat photographers captured the effectiveness of snipers, a Marine with a scoped M1911A1 would never allow a photo crew within a mile of his position. Cover and Concealment are essential to a sniper trying to make a one shot kill.
War means hurting people and breaking things, Bombs did that very well.
