Personaly I am a little undecisive on this one so i have three:
WWII: Bitka za Dražgoše (battle of Dražgoše-my home town), and battle for Stalingrad
WWI: Bitka pri Kobaridu (battle at Kobarid)

The Battle of Lexington and Concord.

It might not have been as grand as the Battle of Stalingrad, or the Battle of Waterloo, but it's still the most important battle in the history of the United States. That's where we started fighting for what we believed in. That's where America was born.

the battle of britian for me, an epic battle saved us from being invaded, the worst is the battle of the somme so many people died in that and we didn't gain much

Hmmm...
WWII: Liberation of Belgrade (my home town) or the Sutjeska Offensive. Not sure.
WWI: Cer battle. There we kicked Austro-Hungary's ass all the way back to Bosnia from where they attacked us from. Too bad that the front lines were composed of Slovenians, Bosnians, Hungarians, the Czech, the Slovaks and the Croats. If those were purely Austrian troops, they might have beaten us to Belgrade. Austrian general, Oscar Pochorek was embarassed so much that the Germans came and got things done. It also took an attack from the South, from Bulgaria to cut off our retreat towards Greece throug Macedonia.

Battle of Britain. The knights of the RAF pretty much saved southern England.

I suggest you to read about battle of Carrhae because it was an important battle between Persians and Romans and also the first battle between these two nations.
