Battles in History that changed things

In this battle three Roman legions were totally wiped out in the year 9 by the Germans. The result was that the Romans deleted their plans to conquer central Europe. If they would have defeated the Germanic tribes, whole Europe would have been latinized and romanized. But it where the Germanic tribes which formed to the nations of Germany, France, England, Netherlands who wrote world history in the centuries to come. They were the major forces to form the wetsren world as we have it now. Therefore the Battle of the Teutoburger Forest is a big world historic event.

This was truely a very decisive battle, because the Turks were defeated by a combined force of Polnish, Austrian and German troops.
