Do you mean a specific war? Which one would you like two key power-shifting events for?
If you want examples right away, here are brief pairs for several major wars — each event with a one-line reason it shifted power:
- World War II
- Operation Barbarossa (1941): German invasion of the USSR opened an eastern front that overstretched Germany and brought the Soviet Union fully into the Allied camp.
- D-Day / Normandy landings (June 1944): Allied invasion established a Western front in Europe and began the liberation of German-occupied territory.
- American Civil War
- Battle of Gettysburg (July 1863): Major Union victory that halted Confederate invasion of the North and turned momentum toward the Union.
- Emancipation Proclamation (Jan 1863): Reframed the war’s purpose toward ending slavery, discouraging foreign recognition of the Confederacy and bolstering Union manpower.
- World War I
- First Battle of the Marne (Sept 1914): Stopped the German advance into France and led to a protracted stalemate and trench warfare.
- U.S. entry into the war (1917): Added fresh manpower and resources to the exhausted Allies, tipping balance against the Central Powers.
- Vietnam War
- Tet Offensive (1968): Although a military setback for the Viet Cong, it undermined U.S. public support and shifted American policy toward de-escalation.
- U.S. troop withdrawals / Paris Peace Accords (1973): Removal of U.S. combat forces changed the balance and ultimately led to South Vietnam’s collapse.
Tell me which war you mean (or pick one of the above) and I’ll expand each event into a short paragraph with dates, key actors, and consequences.
