Battle of the Somme
Normandy is the site of the D-Day invasion beaches where Allied forces landed in June 1944. Most of the soldiers killed that day and in the subsequent battle for Normandy are buried there. 'The Longest Day' and 'Saving Private Ryan' are two films which depict the battle.
The four most important battles were Battle of Verdun Battle of The Somme Battle of Ypres And the 1918 Battle of Amiens
True! The D-Day landings happened in Normandy. Many people consider this to be one of the most important parts of the War. On D-Day the Allies (UK, USA, Canada, Australia, France and others) launched an attack on German occupied France.

During World War II, the three most important European battles that took place were the Battle of Britain in 1940, the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942/1943, and the Battle of the Bulge in 1944/1945. The first ensured that Germany would not win a quick victory in the war. The second proved that Germany had, indeed, overstretched itself by engaging in a two-front war. The third used up the last of Germany's military reserves, ensuring its final defeat while also enabling the Soviet Union to gain control of most of Eastern Europe, which set the stage for the Cold War to come.
Stalingrad or El Alamein
The Second Battle of El Alamein was perhaps the most important battle in the African theatre because it was the first major Allied offensive against the Germans.
