American Naval and Air forces participated in the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway. In both of the battles, the United States and Australian forces won over Japan (defeated Japan). With these two victories over Japan, the American Navy forces began to turn the tide in the war against Japan.
Perhaps the two most important battles the Union won during the US Civil War were the Battle of Gettysburg and the Siege of Vicksburg. Both occurred in July of 1863, with Gettysburg damaging Lee's army sufficiently enough that he would never again attempt offensive operation into Union soil. This is important since the thrust of the Gettysburg campaign was to alleviate the burden of war on Virginia, which had been the main battleground in the east since 1861. The loss of Vicksburg split the far western Confederacy from the east and thereby impeded the flow of supplies such as cattle and reinforcements from the west to the eastern armies. There were many other Union victories, but these two were the most devastating to the hopes of the Confederate nation.
Two union victories: New Orleans and Fort Fisher (Wilmington)
Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, those are really the biggest two
Two Civil War battles occurred at Manassas. The first, in July of 1861, saw Confederate troops led by Brigadier General P.G.T. Beauregard win a limited victory against Union forces. The second, in August of 1862, was decisively won by Confederate troops led by General Robert E. Lee.
The Confederate troops won so many more battles in the East because the Union troops were poorly trained and poorly outfitted. Also, the Confederate troops had better generals than the Union troops had.
The two Confederate victories at the 1st & 2nd Battles of Bull Run, occurred in July 1861 & August 1862, respectively. The Union victory at Gettysburg occurred in July 1863.
Confederate victories were largely the result of Robert Lee and Jefferson Davis.
Vicksburg and Gettysburg
The two important sea battles after the death of Julius Caesar were the battle of Naulochus and the battle of Actium. The battle of Naulochus eliminated Sextus Pompey and his grain blockade and the battle of Actium eliminated Marc Antony. These battles were both won by Octavian, or more correctly, by Agrippa. These victories gave Octavian and Rome a secure Mediterranean.
Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, on the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers respectively, in February 1862. They were the first victories by the then-unknown US Grant. The second one earned him his nickname 'Unconditional Surrender' (U.S.) Grant.
There are two reasons why primary victories are important to candidates. They indicate the strength of the candidate and provide information on the type of voters who are voting for the candidate.
The most important facts of the two US Civil War battles of Bull Run were that they were Confederate victories. In each case, the Union believed that the battles would be Union victories.The First Battle of Bull Run and the Southern victory, was the Union's realization that the South presented a real military danger and that a new Union army needed to be formed to protect Washington DC. The Second Battle of Bull Run was important in that General Lee's victory led to his raid into Maryland. The result was the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day in US history then and for future US wars.
Gettysburg and Antietam
The two battles of Bull Run were the result of the Union's attempt to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond. In both battles the Union forces were defeated.
in both indstances, the confederate armies were declared victorious by a delegation of foreign ministers assembled by the Committee of Delegate Assembly. Because the North had already won so many battles, the south was given these two just to make things fair.
Because the union captured two confederate river sforts. These were Fort Henry and Fort Donelson. Union gun boats could now travel on the river as far as northern alabama
