Britain imports much of its food and raw material. During WW2, Nazi Germany had a policy of trying to starve Britain into submission. The Americans and Canadians were sending shiploads of supplies to the UK and the Germans were torpedoing those ships laden with supplies. Without control of the Atlantic, the British people would have starved to death.
