Ranking battles by their importance has been a bloodsport among military historians as long as there have  been military historians. Creasy s classic  Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World (1851) set the standard for the genre. But what makes a battle decisive? And what makes one such test of arms more important than another? Defining the term too loosely produces howlers like a recent  US News catalogue of decisive battles of the American Civil War. By the  US News count, 45 engagements qualified as decisive during that four-year struggle alone. Zounds! The term must be defined less cavalierly than that to be meaningful. If every battle is decisive, no battle is. That s one reason I always ask students whether some legendary triumph a Trafalgar, or a Tsushima Strait was decisive, or just dramatic, or just featured the star power of a Nelson or Togo.
