What made the D-Day a critical moment or tuning point in the war?
It was the first time massive amounts of Allied troops were committed to Europe.
Who won the battle of Sharpsburg?
The Union troops under George McClellan. It was a highly significant victory, which prevented Lee from invading Pennsylvania at a critical moment when the British were treating this as the test of Confederate viability, in advance of sending aid. Meanwhile it gave Lincoln the credibility to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which gave the war a human-rights aspect, making it ethically impossible for the British to recognise the Confederacy. It was not, however, regarded as a triumph of leadership on McClellan's part. He had had an extraordinary piece of luck, with a full set of Lee's orders falling into his hands (although a Confederate spy in the camp was able to alert Lee about this), but he moved too slowly to exploit his advantage to the full, and Lee's army was able to get home to Virginia in one piece. McClellan was removed shortly afterwards.
Why did the union won the battle of gettisburg?
During the American Civil War, the July 1863 Union victory at Gettysburg was important for several reasons. For one thing, it was a clear victory, and the Union's Eastern Theater badly needed a victory after various defeats. For another thing, it occurred on Union territory; therefore, it represented a turning-back of the South's latest invasion-attempt. Henceforth, it would be Union forces that would be invading the South.
