I was going to add the battle of Bailén too, which marks the liberation of Spain from the Napoleonic troops. But then, will you consider it offensive too?

Kohler explicitly said :
"so forget dates of old wars against our respective neighbours".
I will not add Austerlitz, Bouvines, Fontenoy, Friedland, Iena, Lens, Marignan, Rocroi, Auerstaedt, Arcole, Eylau or Wagram...
Poitiers, Lepante, Reconquista's battles, Vienna, ... are a common European victory, but not St. Quentin, Muret or Nördlingen.
