After the evacuation from Dunkirk, Britain waited for the Germans to cross the English Channel, and invade Britain while we were still in disarray. Thankfully, Hitler hesitated on the very coast of France and postponed the invasion, giving Britain time to reassemble their forces. What followed was the Battle of Britain, when the RAF tried to keep supremacy of the sky, then the blitzing of London and major cities. Eventually, after America's Pearl Harbour, the USA declared war on Japan, and Hitler declared war on the USA. This meant that the President of America, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was able to come directly to Britain's aid.

∙ 9y agoDuring World War II, Great Britain was, on its own, able to resist Hitlerite Germany in 1940-1941 for several reasons. First, it was protected from direct invasion by the English Channel and its own vigorous naval units. Second, its air forces proved sufficient to maintain control of its 'air space' against the Nazi air attacks. Third, the British people and leadership chose defiance and persistence rather than surrender. Finally, key material and moral support was received from neutral-yet-sympathetic America as well as from the belligerents of Canada, Australia, South Africa, and other British Dominions.

The Spitfires went after the fighter and bomber escorts, and the Hurricanes shot down the German bombers. It also helped that the Brit fighters were guided by radar on the ground which allowed them to conserve their fuel for combat. Also, the British pilots strafed German landing craft on the French coast and bombed anything which would have been useful for an invasion.
