The "Battle of Britain" is famous because it was an extremely important battle of World War II. It was the first "turning point" in World War II, the first time since Hitler began overrunning Europe, seemingly unstoppable, that Germany had suffered a major military defeat.
The Battle of Britain was the military campaign in which the German Air Force (the Luftwaffe) tried to overcome Britain's Royal Air Force and air defense system, with the intention of either forcing Britain to surrender or if it did not, making it possible for the Germans to invade. Bombing by the Germans began on July 7, 1940 and continued until May 16, 1941. The Nazis did not succeed in either objective. The irplans to invade Britain were scrapped. As a secondary benefit, opinion in the US shifted as those who had said that Britain could not survive, and therefore should not be helped, were proved wrong.
