Becuase They :D Becuase They :D If historians consider the Battle of Dieppe a success, it is probably because they are looking at the effect of the battle in a broader sense. As a military operation, Dieppe was a failure, but it may have convinced the USSR to stay in the war longer, and it showed the world that the Allies were not giving up. As a military operation, it could also be argued that the Doolittle Raid was a failure because minimal damage was done and all the planes were lost (the original plan had been for them to land in Allied-controlled China, but they were spotted and launched early). Dunkirk is also regarded as a success because thousands of British and French soldiers managed to escape and fight again. There are other ways to guage success or failure than in military terms. Vietnam considers the Tet Offensive their greatest military disaster, but it was the event which convinced the US that they had chosen the wrong war.

How many people did Hannibal Barca kill?
It is hard to estimate how many Roman and ally troops died in battle against Hannibal. Ancient historians varied in their estimates of casualties in the main battles and modern historians think that some of their estimates are exaggerated and tend to come up with lower figures. In some of the battles no casualty estimates were given. Moreover, there were also engagements and skirmishes in addition to the main battles. Their number is not known and how many people died is not known either. Below are the main battles and some figures: Battle of the Trebbia: no estimates by ancient historians. Modern estimates range for 20,000 to 32,000 despite great difficulties in reconstruction. Battle of Lake Trasimene: Polybius 15,000; Livy 10,000 Battle of Cannae. Estimates varied. Polybius gave 76,600; Livy, 42,000; Appian and Plutarch 50,000. Modern historians' estimates range from 15,000 to Livy's figure. Even Livy's estimate is often considered excessive. Battle of Capua: unknown Battle of Hedonia: up to 13,000 Batle of Numistro: unknown Battle of Canusium: 6,000 Battle of Tarentum 2,000
