This was for two main reasons. The first reason is that the Battle of Stalingrad marked the end of Germany's advances into eastern Europe and Russia. The second reason is that this battle was the first major German loss during World War II. After the Germans lost in Stalingrad, they did not advance any farther into eastern Europe or Russia. This is because the Soviet army gained strength and spent a lot of the rest of World War II fighting the Germans to get the territory that Russia had lost back. This was significant because Germans were no longer expanding in at least one direction. Also, they were loosing territory in the same direction. So, not only did Germany stop trying to gain territory in or near Russia, they were loosing territory there.]]> 2018-03-24 02:00:13 UTC https://padlet.com/20webbch/mqtq520mru79/wish/245687239 20webbch https://padlet.com/20webbch/mqtq520mru79/wish/245687363 The Battle of Stalingrad (July 17, 1942-Feb. 2, 1943), was the successful Soviet defense of the city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd) in the U.S.S.R. during World War II. Russians consider it to be the greatest battle of their Great Patriotic War, and most historians consider it to be the greatest battle of the entire conflict. It stopped the German advance into the Soviet Union and marked the turning of the tide of war in favor of the Allies. The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the bloodiest battles in history, with combined military and civilian casualties of nearly 2 million.]]> 2018-03-24 02:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/20webbch/mqtq520mru79/wish/245687363
