Poltava (1709): A critical battle in the Great Northern War, where the Swedish army suffered a major defeat against the Russian forces. Waterloo (1815): The famous battle that marked the end of Napoleon Bonaparte s reign as Emperor of the French, as he was defeated by the British and Prussian forces. Stalingrad (1942): A brutal and pivotal battle during World War II, where Soviet troops successfully halted the German advance, leading to a turning point in the war. Alamein (1942): The Battle of El Alamein in North Africa, where British forces under General Montgomery defeated the Axis powers, shifting the momentum in favor of the Allies. These battles shaped history, influenced tactics, and left lasting impacts. Cyril Falls s work provides valuable insights into their significance and the strategies employed by the combatants.
