Battle of Aughrim, 1691 
Two US paratroopers wipe out a whole German company
The battle greatly escalated the war. English Crown poured more men and materiel into the conflict, while more Irish lords joined O'Neill's alliance. The Nine Years' War in Ireland, previously fought mostly in Ulster, would soon become a struggle against English control over Ireland as a whole.
These types of battles are laughable when you think about the battles the Eastern Europeans had with the Ottomans at the same time. 1800 men trying to sway the fate of a country, they couldn’t take an Ottoman outhouse with such a paltry force.
