There were a few 'key factors' , but in my opinion the greatest was the determination and bravery of the British and allied pilots.

∙ 12y agoA factor that made the Germans fail was that the German bomber planes
were too slow and under gunned whilst the British had enough to
accompany them at all times.

What made Britain so hard to conquer?
The fact that Britain is an island is an important factor. You have to embark your soldiers, which makes things more complicated. The other factor was that she built a powerful navy. The Romans, Vikings and Normans conquered Britain before the islanders had a significant navy. Later, the British navy defeated the Spanish invincible armada (fleet). Victory at sea was key to staving off this attempt at invasion. In World War II the air force fought and won the Battle of Britain in the skies which ended Hitler's hope to invade by destroying British industry with his air force, which was a strategy he used because he did hot have much of a chance to defeat the British naval defence. Hitler also tried to starve Britain through a naval blockade, but the convoys to and from America prevented this, despite German submarines sinking many ships.
Why Britain won the battle of Britain?
Britain won the Battle of Britain for several different reasons. Firstly, the German pilots probably only had about 30 minutes in the air before they had to return to refuel, so they were not usually over their targets long enough to cause alot of damage. Secondly, Hitler ordered the aircraft to fly in formation, and to stay in large numbers. This posed a problem as it made it simpler for the British to spot them and also as they could be attacked easier. Thirdly, the British had mastered a new radar system which they set-up all along the coast. This meant that they could detect the German aircraft while they were still flying over the English Channel and this enabled the British to get their pilots ready and up in the air to meet the Germans. Another major factor was that the Britsh pilots spent a significant amount of time in the air, with little time between sorties, and usually only enough for the plane to be refuelled and rearmed and for the pilots to have something quick to eat. These factors combined, along with the sheer determination of the British pilots helped lead the British to victory in the Battle of Britain against the Luftwaffe in the Summer of 1940.
Why did England defeat Germany in the Battle of Britain?
The Battle of Britain prevented a German invasion of the British Isles, and it bought much needed time for the Allies to rearm and reorganize. When the Allies went on the offensive in Western Europe in 1944, Great Britain was the jumping off point. Also, British bombers, joined in 1942 by American bombers, pounded Germany from English air bases. All of this was made possible by the Battle of Britain in 1940.
What was the most important battle of the revolutionary war?
Probably Saratoga, in September 1777. This battle resulted in the capture of an entire British Army, proving to the world that Americans could successfully fight the British. This was the most important factor in the French decision to assist the Americans in fighting the ancient French enemy, the British. The French wanted to be sure they were not backing a dead horse. If not Saratoga, then Yorktown would be the most important battle. At Yorktown another entire British army was captured, and this proved to be the final straw for the British people, who no longer supported the war, once news of the disaster at Yorktown reached England.
What battle was fought after the war of 1812 due to poor communication?
Battle of New Orleans was fought and won by the USA after the treaty was signed in Ghent, but before true peace, as the treaty was not ratified until the next year, in 1815, so it is part of the war, but was not the deciding factor. The USA accomplished its goal of stopping the British impressment of American sailors, and Britain succeeded in defending Canada, so no one lost. This war settled some of the disputed territories, as the USA wanted all of north America, and Britain wanted the US to stay on the East coast. The war was a DRAW.

Why was London a particular target of Hitler and the German military?
London (being the capital of Great Britain) was bombed in retaliation for the earlier bombing by the British of Berlin, the capital of Germany. It was mostly a 'particular target' for Hitler who felt gravely insulted by the bombing of his capital city. The German military on the other hand had been focusing up to then on the bombing of British military air fields. Historians generally believe that if the German command had been allowed to go on focusing on the air fields, the British air force might have been largely destroyed, making a German invasion feasible. As it was, the focus on London allowed the RAF to rebuild and regroup, which probably was a major factor in Germany's decision to call off the invasion of Britain.
