The German invasion of Russian territory during World War I, particularly through the Eastern Front, was significant as it opened a new front in the war, stretching German resources and military focus. The invasion aimed to knock Russia out of the war quickly, thereby freeing German forces to concentrate on the Western Front. It led to significant battles, such as Tannenberg, which showcased Germany's military prowess but also caused immense suffering and loss for Russian forces. Ultimately, the conflict contributed to internal strife in Russia, setting the stage for the Russian Revolution in 1917.

The Battle of Normandy was the most significant battle between Western Allies and German forces on the continent of Europe. This was the invasion of Europe that signified the final Allied drive to Germany and the eventual end of World War II.
The German invasion of the Sudetenland occurred in October 1938, following the Munich Agreement, which permitted Nazi Germany to annex this border region of Czechoslovakia populated largely by ethnic Germans. The invasion was a strategic move by Adolf Hitler to expand German territory and assert dominance in Central Europe. Czechoslovakia, under pressure from Britain and France, was forced to cede the region without military resistance. This act was a significant precursor to World War II, highlighting the failure of appeasement policies and escalating tensions in Europe.
