Describe three key american military (battles) and their contribution to the defeat of the axis powers.

Among the three key military battles led by Allied forces that tipped the war in favour of the Allies are:

1. Battle of Stalingrad - the attempted German invasion of Russia was topped by the courage of the Soviets in Stalingrad

2. Battle of Midway - the battle of the Pacific islands proved to be costly on the side of the Japanese Imperial Navy

3. D-day - the huge-scale battle marked the Allied advancement to Germany
