You have to admit the Battle of Tours, was at least a defining moment for Europe. At least, it created the resolve to prevent further pushes from the Islamic Invaders.

It did?

The Battle of Tours took place in the Dark Ages. For the most part conditions were so primitive outside of Spain that I doubt "Europeans", as a whole, could come to a resolve about anything other than building more dongeons.

The Battle of Tours was one of great decisive battles of all history.

Its detractors try to say that only one small prong of Mohammedan advances was turned back. But it was "hammered" in the northern half of France with a tremendous shift in momentum.

In 1941, the defenders of Moscow at kilometer 43 and a few other sites only turned back German units that amounted to little more than "reinforced reconnaissance patrols" but the results were still decisive.

To call Charles Martel "a Belgium" is a stretch. The Franks were real men in those days.
