Several battles of ww2 were strategically useless. Morale matters more sometimes.

Oh sorry i was thinking of battle of port Moresby, but coral sea was still am important engagement!

Honestly, the only battle that matters is Berlin Battle.

I've been pondering, and i think that the hands-down , most important battle of history, is -

The Battle of Opis

By crushing Babylon, Cyrus the great secured Persia as the dominant power of Asia for centuries.

And won some cred with the Israelites for destroying Babylon

Folk who have no idea^.

One of the most influential and important battles of history was the Battle of Bannockburn. Long live Robert the Bruce!

Flodden Field: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Flodden

The most Important Battle in the History of the World was the Battle for Planet Earth between the Reptillians, the Humans and the Bird People. Eventually, the Bird People were eaten by the Humans and the Reptillians thought "Fuck this, we're going to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe".

Xyapy, your blind love of Russia forces you to defend your country at all costs.
Yes, the Soviets beat Hitler (let's just admit that now) but that doesn't mean the British, French, and Americans were totally unimportant or inconsequential. Midway is vastly important. The United States sank 4 Japanese Carriers, so badly and permanently that the IJN could never again mount a serious naval offensive (besides Leyte Gulf, but remember the American force was much smaller). The Aemricans keeping Midway was not so much important as was what the Americans did to the Japanese Navy. 4 aircraft carriers and heir finest pilots at the bottom of the ocean.

^Blind America's love. America's introduction to the war was helpful, but the Australians were in stalemate with the Japanese, so were the Indians. The important battles happened in New Guinea and Azai Hind, not some islands that the Japanese pretty much gave up on. The only reason the aircraft carriers were sent there is because they were best used there.

Well, when you consider Japan barely recruited new pilots early on to maintain only aces, and that they had a hard time industrially,suddenly losing 4 carriers and lots of pilots becomes pretty catastrophic.

Russia would have found it largely difficult to win the war without allied help. They arguably would have been beaten. Have you not taken into consideration Lend-lease and other significant factors.

1,900 of 2,000 trains Russia used in WW2 were American, which was vital for transporting troops and supplies around the frontier. Furthermore 66% of jeeps used in the offensive against Germany, as well 12% of aeroplanes and 10% of tanks also. The most significant supply however was food, as the war Russian troops became dependent on it, eg American and Canadian SPAM.

Although less significant than Russian war efforts, allied military help cannot be cancelled out. The RAF bombed Germany cities to distract the Luftwaffe from the Eastern front and supply factories. And then Operation Torch opened up a front in North Africa in 1942 and obviously Operation Overlord in 1944. These pulled less pressure off of Russia and split the German forces even further. This combined force could not be beaten.

Though of course Russia did a lot, the most however was the sacrifice of the Russian people, at a very huge cost. Notable in Leningrad when it was besieged. However this was only because of war communism and the great terror and purges etc. that Stalin has forced into Russia. A truly horrific regime. Also his skill in calling it the 'Great Patriotic War' and reinstating the orthodox religion. Although, obviously overall the most significant factor that led Russia to win the war was the absolute stupidity Germanny and Hitlers mistakes on the Eastern front.

Completely true for the most part, but I doubt your sources.

Japan didn't need pilots, really. They were just for the half-assed war against America.

Xyapy, you're a true idiot. Japanese forces were overruning the Commonwealth and ANZAC forces (if you even know what that stands for). American industrial might turned the war in the Allies' favor, and as much as you hate to admit it, the United States greatly helped the Soviets through lend-lease.

I'm going to repeat every insult but make it even worse.

You're a true retard who didn't pass one education year. The Japanese never took Port Moresby (you're going to have to look that up, as your doltishness can't understand it, I'm not even sure that even when you look it up, you'll understand it, as account your being ultra dumb) and were stopped in May 1942 and started a slow push back by September 1942. I would love to admit that America helped, but I don't like admitting false things. America's help is comparable to Mongolia and Tuva's help to Russia - not terribly much.

You're truly an idiot. I have a 4.0 GPA in all honors classes, and history happens to be my best subject. And are you aware that I have written not one- but two research papers on the European and Pacific thaters of WWII? I am aware the Japanese did not take Port Moresby, but they did overrun Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, the Phillipines, quite a bit of the Dutch East Indies, and the Solomon Islands. The Australians were able to spearhead a counterattack, but partly because they didn't have to worry about Japan building an airbase in Guadalcanal and exerting control over the Solomons and American transport routes to Australia from the American Pacific Coast. And I never mentioned Port Moresby.
It's too bad for you there is no longer a KGB for you to discuss things with like-minded peers.
