This is a hard question that is open to discussion even among historians who specifically study World War 2 as a topic and specialize in it.
The most frequent answers that would probably be given is:
1. Pearl Harbor - with the attack of the Japanese on Pearl Harbor, USA was effectively dragged into the war which may have tipped the odds in favour of the Allies.
2. Stalingrad - the Soviet Union captured a huge German army in Stalingrad. The soldiers from this army were either imprisoned until the rest of the war or died due to hunger. In effect this meant that the German forces lost a whole army on the Eastern front.
3. Normandy landings - the Normandy invasion gave the Allies a foothold on the beaches of Western Europe from where they could invade through the mainland right into Berlin by the end.

In 1979, the Soviet Union intervened in Afghanistan in support of the Afghan communist government. The Soviets took control over the capital, Kabul, and tried through the following decade to gain control over the whole country and its people. The opposers of the Soviet Union, known as mujahideen, <em>were backed and supported by the United States.</em>
Operation Cyclone was the code name for the CIA<em> program to arm and finance the mujahideen.</em> The USA condemned the occupation immediately, fearing the spread of communism. The first six-year assistant package amounted to $3,2 billion, equally distributed between economic assistance and military sales. The U.S. also sold 40 F 16 aircraft to Pakistan that also participated in the war. The second six-year assistance program amounted to $ 4,2 billion.
The mujahideen benefited from the extended military support from the USA and other state,s which contributed to the final Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan.
