Best Answer

The main reasons are:

To destroy the morale of the British people.

To destroy any industry that may produce war supplies to use against Germany.

To overthrow Britain and to rule her army. Her army was one of the world's best, and by taking it over, it would be easy to overthrow the other world powers.
