El Alamein
A turning point in the North African campaign.
Not really for the north from what i know it was mainly the turning point for the whole War. so really it was the turning point for the WHOLE war not just the north
That will be argued about for years with differing opinions, but I think that the pivotal point was Field Marshal Montgomery's victory over General Rommel at El Alamein in the South African campaign.

That's what people think, but it was actually the Guadalcanal Campaign.
Stalingrad wasn't the turning point for the war in North Africa. Stalingrad is in Russia, not North Africa. Stalingrad was a turning point for the war on the Eastern Front because it ground the German Army's advance to a halt and mired them in a nasty stalemate.
It destroyed Lee's ability to invade the North and swung the initiative to the North, in the East. [Vicksburg was the true strategic turning point.]

Do you mean which campaign was the turning-point of the American Civil War? It was the failure of Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania, ending at Gettysburg - on the same day that Grant took the surrender of Vicksburg on the Mississippi. After that, the North was bound to win - subject to Lincoln winning the Presidential Election of November 1864.
The Battle of Antietam was part of the Maryland Campaign; the Union won and it was a turning point because France and Britain were threating to recognize the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. Since Lincoln won the battle, he was able to show it was just more of an uprising with the South.
Meade turned back Lee's last invasion of the North. Although the true strategic turning point was Vicksburg.
