Well, people started specializing in things and if they couldn't get something because they didn't know how to make it, they would trade for it. Fast forward 8000 years, companies like Coca Cola make coke and fanta and others can't make it because they're specialized for it. They trade for it with the entire world and other companies make things that Coca Cola owners buy.
Answer: The Battle of Stalingrad
Details:
Germany had invaded the Soviet Union in what they called Operation Barbarossa, beginning in June, 1941. The Battle of Stalingrad, fought from August 1942 to February 1943, became the turning point in the war between German and Soviet forces on the Eastern front of World War II. Stalingrad was a protracted and extremely bloody military confrontation. More than 2 million troops were involves, and the death toll (including many thousands of Russian civilians) also numbered around two million. As reported by the History Channel, "The Battle of Stalingrad (one of Russia’s important industrial cities) ultimately turned the tide of World War II in favor of the Allied forces."
