The Battle of Britain started on 10th July 1940 and it ended on 31st October 1940. The Battle of Britain lasted for 3 months and 3 weeks.
An air campaign fought by Britain and Germany.
After the Battle of Britain, the Allies (and the Axis powers and the rest of the world, for that matter) learned that Hitler's army was not invincible, after all. The Luftwaffe was never again strong enough to invade Britain (mainly due to the low-efficiency aircraft engines of the day, and for lack of resources), so the Royal Airforce was given the chance to rebuild itself, and Britain the chance to rebuild its cities. The Battle of Britain happened VERY early on in the War, however (summer, 1940), so really anything that happened from September 1940 onward can be considered what happened after the B.o.B.
The Battle of Britain was an air battle between the Germans and the British. It was conducted between July 1940 to May 1941. Leon Trotsky was assassinated in Russia.

Operation SeaLion never happened thankfully. This was Hitler's proposed invasion of Britain in 1940 and it didn't happen because Germany could not achieve air superiority after the Battle of Britain.
