What are the most important battles in history?

Answer 1

Read JFC Fuller Desicive battles of the Western world

In No order:

-Battle of Waterloo-Napoleon's down fall

-Battle of Marathon-thwarted Persian attempts to conquered Greece and arguably saved democracy

-Athenian Campaign of Sicily-actual battle not important other than causing the downfall of Athens but the effects caused Athens to do 'soul searching' after defeat and led to the rise of philosophy and the "Academy"

- Mohammed's conquest of Mecca-had he been defeated, Islam would likely have died, undoubtedly changing human history

-Battle of Zama-extremely risky move that ensured creation of Roman Empire

-Battle of Tours-halted Muslim advance into Europe and arguably saved Christendom from Muslim subordination

-Battle of Normandy-Arguably most important battle of WW2, had Normandy failed, Hitler could have indefinitely held out (but not defeated) the Russians. After Normandy, German defeat was inevitable.

The Battle of Britain, where the British RAF fought against Luftaffer(Germans)
