	Antietam is in Maryland, so the location should be the USA, not the CSA.

	This is...not a good list. But that's not your fault.

	Leipzig was in Saxony, not Prussia.

	Battle of San Juan Hill was in Cuba, not Puerto Rico.

	Probably should accept just Tsushima for Tsushima Strait and Teutoburg (Forest) for Teutoburger Wald.

	Legolas:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 20:19 GMT		0 points
	You should also correct the spelling of Gaugamela, and accept Operation Desert Storm for Desert Storm, and Catalaunian Plains/Fields for Chalons.

	ok i made all of your changes

	stilicho:	Nov 29th, 2009 at 03:13 GMT		2 points
	You should accept "Teutoburg Forest" along side "Teutoburger Wald"

	anarresti:	Dec 10th, 2009 at 21:05 GMT		4 points
	Ok quiz. Battle of Britian was in 1940

	ddt:	Jan 11th, 2010 at 19:04 GMT		2 points
	You should accept Poitiers for Tours, and Königgrätz for Sadowa.

	have read the book on which i believe this was based. Great, interesting book. Think it makes a tough quiz, however, because some of these are a little obscure. The author of the book explains how these battles altered history in a significant way. The quiz is a little difficult without that backstory.............

	If ac65 is right, then I would be wary about basing such a generally themed quiz on a single source. Mostly well executed quiz that covers a good deal of important battles, but the last quarter or so is full of bizarre choices that are basically ungettable and seemed to indeed come from a single source who was purposely picking obscure or minor battles in order to spotlight them and make an argument about their underrated importance (e.g. Jidda, Yenan, Santa Clara, Charleston Harbor).

	johnlk:	Jun 22nd, 2010 at 16:57 GMT		1 point
	The Battle of San Juan Hill is more important than Rossbach or Jena or Solferino? Come on.

	CoolerKing:	Jun 22nd, 2010 at 18:12 GMT		8 points
	What about the battle of Endor? If the Rebel Alliance had not joined together with the Ewoks, the Galactic Empire would never have been defeated!

	The sinking of the Spanish Armada may want to be moved from the Atlantic to the coast of the British Isles. As the battle started on the South coast of England before the Armada was forced to circumnavigate the British Isles with the final disaster being turning south too soon and running into the unforgiving Irish Atlantic coast. I have to agree with Giotto - it be interesting to know what just missed out and whilst some very important events are mentioned like Waterloo, Gettysburg etc there are others that are missing that could have got a mention.

	Wow this quiz is so wrong. How is it that the crowning victory of one former British colony outranks the battles of Tours, Waterloo, Gaugamela, or Hastings. Who's the ultra-nationalist American who made this pathetic list?

	JamesSnell:	Mar 5th, 2011 at 12:14 GMT		2 points
	What about cannae?

	JamesSnell:	Mar 6th, 2011 at 10:42 GMT		1 point
	This quiz does seen just a little flimsy on some of these and the dates being wrong just top off an all round failure.

	carbon_rod:	Jun 19th, 2011 at 17:57 GMT		1 point
	Definitely accept Koniggratz for Sadowa. Also accept Moraviantown for Battle of the Thames. A search revealed nothing for any "Battle of Yenan"; is it better known by another name, or is this to do with the Long March? Kovel-Stanislav is better known as the Brusilov Offensive.

	JamesSnell:	Aug 21st, 2011 at 19:59 GMT		2 points
	This quiz is very US-centric which is not good. Almost every other battle is in USA or CSA. This is boring and geographically irritating this is why I rated this a 1

	SigmaBlack:	Nov 4th, 2011 at 19:30 GMT		3 points
	Verdun, The Somme, Cannae?

	chaste:	Nov 15th, 2011 at 14:48 GMT		2 points
	The US overestimates itself as usual...

	Hamilton_Burger:	Jan 11th, 2012 at 21:53 GMT		1 point
	As previously stated, you need to accept Koniggratz/Koeniggratz for Sadowa and Teutoburg Forest for Teutoburger Wald. I would also accept the Battle of the Nations for Leipzig.

	Battle of Tampere was much more influental than battle of Vyborg. Both were fought in Finnish civil war 1918
