How did Dunkirk lead to the battle of Britain?
Because the evacuation from Dunkirk saved 338,226 soldiers [British & French]. While equipment could be replaced men could not. 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 morale. The saving of so many soldiers, against all the odds, gave a massive boost to morale in Britain - a boost that was never to be lowered, even during the blitz.
What did churchill mean when he said never in the field of human conflict was so much owned by so many to so few?
Churchill made this comment on 20 August 1940 in a speech during the Battle of Britain - that is, the battle in the air over southern Britain in July-October, 1940. It was a very difficult time for Britain: in June 1940 France had collapsed and installed a pro-Nazi government.In the summer (and autumn) of 1940 the outcome of World War 2 in Europe depended on whether or not the Nazis would succeed in destroying the Royal Air Force (RAF). Many people had noted that the number of actual combattants involved in this particular battle was very small, and there were remarks to the effect that the fighting in the skies was rather like some ancient battle between champions. It was quite different from land battles between huge armies. However, the outcome was of the utmost importance. This is what the famous quote is about.Jonceythe simple answer : he meant that the whole population (so many) owed so much to so few (the pilots) who saved England from Hitler.Anthony Eden paraphrased this in North Africa when the British were defeating the Italians before Rommels arrival : Never in the field of human conflict was so much surrendered by so many to so few....

Why do people say that the Battle of Thermopylae saved saved democracy for fututre generations?
Because they are ignorant of the reality. The battle of Thermopylai was a holding action to force a sea battle to destroy the Persian fleet. The sea battle failed and the force holding the pass of Thermopylai dispersed. It had no positive success. And none of the Greek states were democracies at that stage, so they could not have saved democracy. It did however stand as a symbol of fighting tenaciously against the odds. It also stood as a symbol of sacrifice for others - the Spartan contingent continued to hold the pass to let the other contingents escape, and were all killed, sacrificing themselves for their allies.

Why did Britain fight with Hitler?
In the summer and fall of 1940, German and British air forces clashed in the skies over the United Kingdom, locked in the largest sustained bombing campaign to that date. A significant turning point of World War II, the Battle of Britain ended when Germany's Luftwaffe failed to gain air superiority over the Royal Air Force despite months of targeting Britain's air bases, military posts and, ultimately, its civilian population. Britain's decisive victory saved the country from a ground invasion and possible occupation by German forces while proving that air power alone could be used to win a major battle. ***** "Why did Britain have to fight Hitler?" - because Britain and France had a treaty with Poland, that they would come to Poland's aid should Poland ever be invaded by another country. Once Germany invaded Poland, Britain and France had to honour the treaty.
