I want to see what people think with regards to this issue.Which s the greatest siege? and why? (results and influence on...)




regards

Leningrad by Germany (1941-1944) should be the greatest siege. The Germans had a considerable fire power and the Russians had a tremendeous fighting will. Despite being sieged for almost 3 years the city did not surrender.

i agree to all above siege...and would like to add some more

The siege of Ceasar in Gaul /Alesia...were he beat the gaul leader with double wall to hold back the gaulish reinforces

Tyros/Tyre...The siege of Great Alexander in Lebanon (known as Phoenicia)

Masada...

Austerlitz

Leningrad

Przemysl: The Greatest Siege of WWI

ACTIONS AROUND THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE PORTUGUESE/SPANISH FRONTIER 1811 ­ 1812

To add the siege of Osaka Castle which marked the official end of the Sengoku period, a long age of civil war in Japan.




Off-topic:
The fictional siege of Minas Tirith impressed me a lott. :aggressive: :lol:

-Tobruk
-The battle of England ( in a long term this was a siege too)
-Malta

The Greatest Siege definitelly was the one at stalingrad because there turned the tide of war in favour of the allies.Not to mention the destruction of a German army...
