Iwo Jima (1944) - Pretty much formally screwed Japan.

Siege of Orleans (1428 - 1429) - Turning point in the Hundred Years War.

Siege of Vienna (1700)-allowed Germans, Poles, and Austrians to begin to push the Ottomans out of Europe+the beginning of the Otoman Empire's downfall.

Battle of Midway (1942)- I don't think so many aircraft carriers have been sunk in a single battle (4 Japanese,1 American), Japan stripped of long-range striking power.

That was called the Battle of Crecy. A battle that comes to mind for me is the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Set up Europe (England and France in particular) for a few centuries of trouble.

The Battle of Gettysburg. Turning point of the American civil war, had the Confederate Army kept the field of battle and Special Order 191 not had been captured, there may have been a confederate States of America.

Normandy Beach Landings. Not really a turning point in WWII but it did help the war end sooner. So much planning, coordinating, deception and time were put into the operation. Had it failed, Nazi Germany would have probably lasted longer than it did(in the west anyway).

Alternatehistoryguy, If I know my history a lot of those awesome longbowmen were Welsh? (bloody traitors fighting for the English)

I agree with you on Hastings though. When you consider the impact England and Britain went to have on the world.

1415 was Agincourt (alternately spelled Azincourt). Both Crecy and Agincourt were overwhelming English victories against numerically superior French armies (as in outnumbered 3 to 1) thanks to French stubborn pride and the Welsh and British longbowmen.

Yorktown would seem to merit a mention given the impact it had on the future. Gettysburg doesn't really belong since while it effectively ended the war, it would have had a minimal impact had the South won the battle.

What I wonder is if England had won the Hundred' Years War. Would it still have continental territory today? At its peak, England controlled most of the western half of France.
