What was the Battle of Britain about?
Occurring during World War II in 1940, the Battle of Britain was about two things. First, it was about controlling the air-space above the British home-islands. Second, it was about the impending German invasion of those islands: if the Germans could control British air-space, then their invasion could begin.
Why did Germany put off the invasion of Britain?

What was one factor that prevented a German invasion of Great Britain in 1940?
In 1940 Britain was deficient in military defense if a German army was able to land an invasion force on British soil. Britain's defense depended on the Royal Navy to control the English Channel. The Royal Navy did control the channel because it had convenient bases and a large number of cruisers that were well armed and could sink any German transport ships. The German navy was far too weak to combat Britain's navy in the channel.

Undeniably, it contributed to the already substantial reputation of British naval skill while providing the British and their allies with further motivation to remain in the fight against the imposing force of Imperial France.
