Sir Edward Shepherd Creasy (12 September 1812-17 January 1878) was an English historian and jurist. In 1840, he began teaching history at the University of London and wrote a number of historical books including The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World (1851). Creasy was knighted in 1860. Creasy's best known contribution to literature is his Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World (1851). The reason Creasy gives for the significance of many of the fifteen battles, is that they denied Eastern peoples access to European soil. [citation needed] Other battles are seen as "decisive" because they shaped the development of Britain, which was the world's leading power at the time of writing. This book tells the story of the fifteen military engagements, which, according to the author, had a significant impact on world history. Chapters: The Battle of Marathon, 490 BC; Defeat of the Athenians at Syracuse, 413 BC (also known as the Battle of Syracuse); The Battle of Gaugamela, 331 BC (also called the Battle of Arbela); The Battle of the Metaurus, 207 BC; Victory of Arminius over the Roman Legions under Varus, AD 9 (Also known as the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest); The Battle of Châlons, AD 451 (also called the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields or the Battle of the Catalun); The Battle of Tours, AD 732 (also called the Battle of Poitiers); The Battle of Hastings, AD 1066; Joan of Arc's Victory over the English at Orléans, AD 1429 (also known as the Siege of Orléans); Defeat of the Spanish Armada, AD 1588; The Battle of Blenheim, AD 1704; The Battle of Pultowa, AD 1709 (also called the Battle of Poltava); Victory of the Americans over Burgoyne at Saratoga, AD 1777; The Battle of Valmy, AD 1792; and The Battle of Waterloo, AD 1815.
