The Battle of New Orleans took place after the Treaty of Ghent was signed on December 24, 1814, officially ending the War of 1812.

The American forces, led by General Andrew Jackson, achieved a decisive victory against the British. This battle became a significant event in American history, boosting national pride and Jackson's popularity.
On the Eastern Front, the Battle of Stalingrad was the turning point. Germany was winning battle after battle, and Hitler wanted to take the oilfields in southern Russia and also the River Volga. Hitler eventually became impatient and decided to split his force and send some troops to the city on the river Volga named Stalingrad. After months of fighting, the Soviets, who basically had their backs against the walls, or river, had millions of reinforcements come in to trap the Germans, whom most of which died.
The Battle of Verdun, which began in February 1916, was triggered by Germany's strategic aim to bleed France white, inflicting heavy casualties and forcing a decisive victory. The Germans selected Verdun due to its symbolic importance to the French and its strategic location. They believed that a prolonged engagement would exhaust French resources and morale, leading to a collapse. The battle quickly became one of the longest and costliest in World War I, symbolizing the horrors of trench warfare.
