Greatest battles in history?
Greatest battles in history?
...
Operation Barbarossa.
The battle of Narva. There are few times when Russians have been so eternally BTFO - by fucking Sweden no less. One of few times in history when the Russian winter didn't work in the Russians' favour.
Battle of Midway
Thermopylae
Hitler should've been shopped in there at the end
Las Navas de Tolosa. Largest medieval battle ever.
Falklands
>beat a south american banana republic
>brag about it forever
Napoleon's campaign in Egypt and Syria.
Not the largest battle, not even of its epoch, but I'm always impressed by the background and the legacy of the Battle of Ethandun.
The Danes had conquered essentially the entirety of Anglo-Saxon Britain, the King of Wessex, Alfred, had been defeated taken refugee in a swamp where he spent the winter. Slowly he began building up his forces and when he finally emerged from the swamp he had an entire army which he used to beat the Danes and began the process of reconquering the Anglo-Saxon lands, which would culminate in the founding of an unified kingdom of England.
To think that what would later become the greatest empire in the world was once reduced to a swamp and that it managed to come back from that is, in my opinion, of the greatest stories ever told.
《 Battle Of The ISANDLWNA 》
Stalingrad, never has a battle involved so many fighting men whilst simultaneously balancing the outcome of the biggest war humanity has ever witnessed, although this thread is entirely opinion.
Le Battle on the Ice meme. Only a handful of knights even show up. They get killed and to inflate the battle years later people claim they """fell through the ice"""
Kursk, my dude.
Great film btw. Highly recomended it anyone who likes war films.

In the past century, I'd say:
The Somme
Stalingrad
Kursk
Britain
Midway
Siege of Malta against the Turks. The length of the fight, the weather, the brutality, the numbers, the significance of it. It saved Europe from the Turk and paved the way for 400+ years of European domination.
what do you think about the battle for the atlantic?
Just as important than battle for britain if not more
face it diego.

Am, am, am. the Breton-Normans and Welsh ruled England for the best part of the last 1000 years.

Lepanto was pretty good
Naval battle: Lepanto

The Battle of Stalingrad, proven fact, you just hate Russians to admit it
