Guadalcanal
Well, the name is world-known and the Wikipedia topic is impressive and shows the importance of this battle. Nothing to add more so but just something that i think...
About the Pacific War , i make a link with the famous quote by Winston Churchill, who said on November 9, 1942 about the battle of El Alamein : "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning".
In the Pacific, Midway was perhaps the end of the beginning and Guadalcanal, the beginning of the end...

Against Alexander Dubček's liberal reforms in Czechoslovakia, Leonid Brezhnev launches Operation Danube .
According to Wikipedia, the Brezhnev Doctrine in action means about 500,000 men (27 divisions), 6,300 tanks, 800 airplanes and 2,000 cannons of the Warsaw Pact against the spirit of Prague spring.
The "normalisation" of Czechoslovakia will last 20 years, until the country became a sovereign nation as the Czech Republic.
