Answer 2

They fought in almost every battle along side the Americans and other countries (the Allies). Some more notable ones are the Battle of Britain Operation Market Garden, and D-Day. Britain was the only country to fight the War from very start to very finish and for a long time it was just the Brits VS the Germans while the world just watched ( the Battle of Britain).

Quite impressive realy when you think how many nations it took to defeat the Germans the British held them off all on their own for a long time and defended their own country from invasian alone. Them Brits sure do got some cahonas! lol

Answer 3

The British fought along with the French in May 1940 before they were forced to evacuate their forces at Dunkirk, on the Belgium coast in June 1940. Over 300,000 British and French soldiers were saved. The British won battles against the Africa Corps and the Italians in North Africa especially the 2nd Battle of EL Alemain in 1942. The British helped drive the Germans out of Sicily in 1943. This was not a battle, but was a significant victory that helped defeat Germany, was the breaking of the ultra secret German code machine called the "enigma" early in the war. From that point forward, the British were able to gain vital knowledge of what the Germans were up to and to take preventative measures. The Germans never found out about this till the end of the war. The British did suffer some major defeats, especially in the Pacific Theatre against the Japanese. They lost 2 of their most prized aircraft carriers protecting Singapore. They were driven out of Burma and Philippines and lost Singapore. In Europe in 1944, they suffered major losses trying to take Arnhem in Holland.

Finally, the Battle of the Atlantic was eventually won by the British with the strong support of the United States. The defeat of the uboats was a major turning point in the war because it allowed for vast quantities to get through by convoy to the UK and the Soviet Union by the end of 1943.
