How did general george s Patton change history?

Answer 1

Which General Patton? There were two, father and son; WWII Patton the father and Vietnam Patton the son. The son was a Colonel commanding the famed 11th ACR Blackhorse regiment in Vietnam and later general; the father commanded the 3rd Army in Europe in WWII and died in a car accident enroute to a hunting trip in Europe in 1945.

Neither changed history but rather contributed to military history. Germany would've lost the war regardless of Patton's participation in it; ; Vietnam would've been lost regardless of Patton junior's contribution.

The only solid change or contribution was Patton senior's legacy of "history" (which can be worded as "glory") in WWII and the 3 US Army medium gun tanks named after him: the M46 Patton, M47 Patton, and the M48 Patton. All were 90mm gun tanks. Patton junior's legacy was being the son of his father and also serving in a war and commanding a famous armored cavalry regiment. No other Pattons have served in combat and commanded an armored unit.
