On August 15, 1780 an American army, led by General Horatio Gates was badly defeated by the British Army led by Gen. Lord Cornwallis. This defeat opened the way for the British to invade North Carolina.
Georgia seceded from the Union on January 19, 1861, primarily due to its desire to protect the institution of slavery and assert states' rights. The election of Abraham Lincoln, who was perceived as opposed to the expansion of slavery, heightened fears among Southern states. Georgia's secession was part of a broader movement by Southern states to form the Confederacy, seeking to maintain their social and economic systems based on slavery. The state's leaders believed that secession was the only way to preserve their way of life.
The Union won three decisive battles, which swung the advantage to its side: 1 - The Battle and Siege of Vicksburg, which, after a campaign lasted from May19 through July 4, 1863, led to the surrendering of the Confederate fortress and the capture of the besieged Pemberton's Army, followed on July 9 by the surrendering of Port Hudson. The Mississippi River was then under complete control of the Union. 2 - The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863. 3- The Third Battle of Chattanooga, fought from October 26 through November 25 1863, which opened the way to the invasion of Georgia.
No!
The Union is another way of saying the United States
The Union victory at Lookout Mountain opened up the road to Northern Georgia, that Sherman would later use on his way to Atlanta.
I would say that the fall of Atlanta opened the way for Sherman.
The Union invasion of Georgia was primarily facilitated by the success of Union forces in the Western Theater, particularly with the capture of key locations such as Chattanooga in late 1863. This victory allowed General William Tecumseh Sherman to launch his Atlanta Campaign in 1864, aiming to disrupt the Confederate supply lines and weaken their war effort. Additionally, the strategic significance of Georgia, as a critical transportation and supply hub for the Confederacy, made it a prime target for Union forces.
Russia is conducting multiple attacks on Georgia, some believe it is a way to create a more easy path to invade Türkey, or to make airspace sharing with Iraq and Jordan easier.
Grant's capture of Vicksburg did that.
It was a decisive, though costly, Union victory. Coupled with the contemporary size of the Island Number. 10 (April 7th) carried out by Pope's Union Army, it opened to the North the way to the conquest of Memphis and the valley of the River Mississippi
The conquest of Fort Henry gave the Union the control of the River Tennessee, opened the way to invade the western Tennessee and outflanked the Confederate positions on the River Mississippi. It was the first breach opened in the defensive system of the Confederate western front, whose collapse took place after Grant's decisive victory at Fort Donelson (February 15,1862), forcing the Confederates to evacuate Nashville and the Southern Kentucky.

Through Belgium
At the time, Nazi Germany was pressing hard against the Soviet Union on the USSR's west. It would not be unreasonable to believe that Stalin wanted the Allies to invade Western Europe as a way of drawing off German troops, etc.
They Invaded Belgium on their way to France
