As for the Battle of Britain, if nothing else, it kept Britain in the war and bought valuable time for the Allies. I'd say that would be a valid argument for it being termed a "turning point" of the war.
The Fall of France could also be considered a valid "turning point" of the war because if France had held, the war would certainly have gone quite differently, don't you think?
You want to know why D-Day was so important? Very simply, any hope the Axis had of victory ended on June 6th.
Each of these battles were decisive in their own time. That is to say, that had any of them turned out differently, perhaps some of the others would never have taken place whatsoever. |
