Some say the reason for the turning point was either Pearl Harbor or The Battle of Stalingrad. A lot debate are with Pearl Harbor as the main point of conflict. Robert Dallek, on the other hand, thought Pearl Harbor couldn’t have been the turning point. Because of this America had already set a path to war. The Battle of Stalingrad was concluded by many historians to be the absolute turning point of this war. The Battle of Stalingrad was fought from the winter of 1942 to 1943. Historians say they discovered the turning point occurred less than a year before the war began, which was October 16, 1941. But May 1940 was when everything suddenly change.
