Thats tough, Stalingrad was a huge turning point, but it was the exclamation point of a failed campaign more then a turning point as well.

The battle of Britain would be a big turning point as well, as it turned back the aggression of the German's on the British and allowed the brits to take a breath and gain the initiative against the German's. It also opened the sky's for the mass bombing campaigns.

Operation market garden was designed to allow the allies to cross the rhine which was the last barrier for the Allies heading into Germany. It failed and the allies weren't able to cross the Rhine until 1945.

Iwo Jima was hugely important because it removed the last natural defense protecting Japan from the Allies. It was also one of the most fierce fighting in the war.


Hope this helps




The Canadian invasion of Dieppe was a horrible battle, but key in that it could be considered a test run for the D-Day invasions, and allowed the allies to test the concepts of beach invasions

Pearl Harbour is a given, but the battle of midway was a major turning point because it basically ended the concept of Japan's dominance of the Pacific and crippled thier Navy.

Kursk was a major tank battle where the German's hinged thier hopes and the majority of thier main battle tanks in the hopes of breaking the Russian counter offensive, this was the point that the T-34 was recognized as the best tank on the planet, and Russian tank production started outstripping German tank production.

The battle of the bulge was the last major German offensive and the last hope for the German army, important in the same way that the battle of midway was in the pacific in that it pretty much ended the German hopes for a positive end for the war.
