Decisive victory
The term
decisive victory
refers to a military
victory
in
battle
that definitively resolves the objective being fought over, ending one stage of the conflict and beginning another stage. Until a decisive victory is achieved, conflict over the competing objectives will continue. Like all concepts of warfare, a decisive battle can take place from the
tactical
or unit level (
Pavlov's House
during the
Battle of Stalingrad
or the
Chew House
at the
Battle of Germantown
), the
operational
level (the
Battle of Cowpens
or the
Battle of Cannae
), all the way up to the
strategic
level (the
Battle of Saratoga
) or battles that bring an end to hostilities, such as the
Battle of Waterloo
or the
Battle of Hastings
.
