50 Battles That Shaped Our World – What Would You Pick?

The January 2009 issue of Armchair General magazine published a list of 50 Battles that Shaped Our World. Ranging from ancient times to the current War on Terror, these are battles with effects far beyond the blood-soaked fields or the raging waves where they were fought.

For the last few weeks, our forum members have been debating what battles should have been included on that list, and in some cases they came up with different ones than those selected by our staff.

We’d like to know what you think. The list of 50 battles from the January Armchair General magazine appears below. In the comments section at the bottom of this page, leave a comment about the battles chosen and tell us if there were other battles that didn’t appear on the list, but that you feel should have.
