Well if Britain had lost the Battle of Britain it would have made the forthcoming invasion of the UK 'operation sea lion' a goer. It's unlikely Britain could have defeated the Germans on the ground so they would have been conquered like France and Belgium etc.. the German army could then have concentrated on the Eastern front to defeat Russia and so on... so it can be argued that because the British kept the Germans occupied on the Western Front (and North Africa etc...) and split their forces which could have been deployed elsewhere, the war would have been lost otherwise
The Battle of Britain was the first deafeat for the German forces. It proved that they could be defeated, for they had until then been victorious ("invincible"). This improved morale and encouraged other countries to fight back. The RAF also decimating the German Luftwaffe. By the End of the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe was lacking in trained aircrew and pilots, and so had inferior strenghts when it came to its next campaign, Operation Barbarossa (in the Soviet Union).
It encouraged more agression
The Battle of the Argonne caused the final breakdown of German resistance and helped bring about the German request for armistice.

The primary impact was that Great Britain's victory was also a victory for all of the Commonwealth nations. Many Commonwealth pilots flew British aircraft during that Air Battle in the summer of 1940.
The Germans failed to achieve air supperiority and therefore they could not execute an invasion of the British Isles.
If Britain had lost that battle, Germany would almost certainly invaded in large numbers. ~ The Battle of Britain was an attempt by the Luftwaffe to destroy the Britain RAF, as a precursor to invasion. Although whether they could have done it while the Royal Navy was intact is doubtful. The Battle of Britain was the first defeat for Germany and more so as a strategic defeat. The impact of losing so many aircraft placed Germany in a difficult situation knowing that their fighters were not capable of escorting their bombers to the key targets such as the arsenals, docks and airports. This allowed Maleries "Big Wing" to take on the heavy bombers and reduce the damage inflicted. Added to this is the moral boost for allied forces as there were many counties involved in this battle not just Britain. it also meant that Britain was still in the war and that Europe was not completely under German control. This led (after the invasion of Russia) to Germany fighting a war on two fronts.
How did the Battle of Somme impact on World War 1?
impact was greater for Britain
Apart from causing hundreds of thousanmds of deaths on both sides it failed to acheive its objectice of closing the Dardenelles to German shipping.
