No mention of Battle of Thermopylae, Yorktown, San Jacinto? Nonsense.
Also no mention of Tours in 732, where Charles Martel's defeat of the Moors stopped Muslim expansion into Europe and made possible the Christian Middle Ages. Without that, we'd be speaking Arabic today and praying five times a day towards Mecca. Hugely significant battle.
