By saving 338,226 soldiers [British & French]. Although a massive amount of equipment was lost, Dunkirk was probably Hitler's greatest mistake next to attacking Russia because if he had pressed home his attack he would have as good as wiped-out the army and destroyed moral. The saving of so many soldiers, against all the odds, gave a massive boost to moral in Britain - a boost that was never to be lowered, even during the blitz.

Was Dunkirk one of the great events in british history if so why?

Yes, I suppose you could say it was. Dunkirk displayed British nationalism when every British ship in the Channel sailed to the beaches of Dunkirk to rescuse the French soldiers there. They transported over 300,000 men to England who became the Free France movement.
