What do you mean by greatest? In term of involved men? Importance? Or if it does matter for us? In my opinion, Battles of Tours, Chalons and Bouvines in good position. Mainly because they have a strong meaning for France. In term of involved men, the Battle of Borodino is a good claimant to the title with something like 250.000 men involved. ------------- Vae victis! |

Verdun during WW1, it was the longest battle ever also, it was more a little war inside of bigger war rather than a battle strictly speaking. It has all the stats to be one of the greatest battle if not the greatest. ------------- |

No, 600,000 Red Army personnel surrendered. ------------------------- For greatest amounts of deaths in a single day easily Cannae - which would also be the greatest death toll in two hours of battle. For greatest battle, as in the one with the gravest consequences, I would say the Battle of Kursk. It would mark the end of Hitler's evil Empire, without chance of peace - a world with Hitler, even one confined to Germany, would have been a totally different world. For longest battle, easily Verdun. The the battle which marked a transition I would say Gustavus Adolphus' battles during the Thirty Years War - marked the transition from tactics resembling phalanxes and conhorts, to more flexible lines, modelling modern tactics. ------------- |

I disagree. A big factor for the crusades was that the Pope wanted more power.. he wanted to recapture the Holy Land, and since the Muslims were in his way, he declared war on them. Also, he wouldn't of mind if he got his hands on the Byzantine Empire as well, to bring them back to the light... of Catholisism.. ------------- http://theforgotten.org/intro.html |

The casualty count is between 73,000 to 80,000. The Romans entered the field with slightly over 80,000 men. They came out with around 600. So, the casualty count is nearer to 80,000 men. ------------- |

Definately wrong. The British and Americans had the
least amount of equipment and soldiers then any other theater of
operations.

The Japanese lost an immense amount of troops in that campaign and the fact that it ranged from indochina, to southern china to burma to assam regions of northeaster india gives it an epic proportion. Truly, defining Japanese expansionism and portraying British and American defending and maintaing the line in India. ------------- Kha Wora Phutthachao Nop Phra Phumiban Bunya Direk

The distribution of Japanese forces during the war answers this. At the end of 1943 Japan had 75 army and army air divisions, these were deployed, Japan - 7 Korea - 2 China - 44 Pacific - 12 SE Asia - 10 ------------- Light blue touch paper and stand well back http://www.maquahuitl.co.uk - http://www.maquahuitl.co.uk http://www.toltecitztli.co.uk - http://www.toltecitztli.co.uk |
