Well technically it can be broken down into isolated battles in certain countries/areas e.g Spain and Jerusalem, both of them were influential as they recaptured lands from muslims.

Yes, now pick one that was influential, and you might be posting on topic and half relevant to the thread...

We would just find another way into Europe.

so simple

think of how many people were lost! it would have been a devastating defeat, and who knows how long it would take for them to formulate another plan.

They (the Allies) would definitely take a lot of precautions considering the heavy damage they sustained, and who’s to say they would have had a successful campaign after that kind of defeat?

If you actually read what I said, SPAIN and JERUSALEM were my examples...... 🙄

The batle for middle earth. Nah I'm joking, would go with battle of waterloo and battle for new gettysburg in the civil war. Also battle for lexington and concord.

yes... Now if only you provided the battles name, or which crusade it was... Then we might finally have made some progress... From the initial "Crusades" remark... 😛

Do wars count?

Since you asked so politely, Reconquista was the battle in Spain & the battles in Jersulem are grouped under the 'Holy War', though the last battle won back the majority of jersulem.Is that enough for you?, I can also include the names of everyone participating on each side, the names of their horses, the different weapons being used . . . . . 🙄

Congratulations! you have now provided an answer to the question asked... I've had to beat it out of you, but you have done it... Give yourself a pat on the back... 🙂

The Battle of Tours.

D-Day was a great loss of men, but not very "decisive" to the rest of the war.

It was important because it meant Germany was fighting on both sides of its borders

I think it would be harder to try to find a battle that was Un-influential.
Except of course the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812, which actually happened AFTER a Treaty had been signed and the British had surrendered.

It was their original plan to fight on both sides.

but that doesn't change the fact that it was an influential battle
