Well, there are a few other areas that had massive, drawn out battles in cities. Sevastopol springs to mind- taking it was a massive undertaking.

However that could better be represented by fortresses as Sevastopol was more about cracking the fortresses than fighting in the city.

Very few of us realise with conviction the intensely unusual, unstable, complicated, unreliable, temporary nature of the economic organisation by which Western Europe has lived for the last half century. We assume some of the most peculiar and temporary of our late advantages as natural, permanent, and to be depended on, and we lay our plans accordingly. On this sandy and false foundation we scheme for social improvement and dress our political platforms, pursue our animosities and particular ambitions, and feel ourselves with enough margin in hand to foster, not assuage, civil conflict in the European family. Moved by insane delusion and reckless self-regard, the German people overturned the foundations on which we all lived and built.
John M. Keynes, 1919
