The Battle of the Atlantic was a prolonged naval conflict during World War II, lasting from 1939 to the war's end in 1945, primarily between the Allies and Nazi Germany. It involved the struggle for control of the Atlantic sea routes, crucial for transporting troops, supplies, and resources. The Allies ultimately won by employing advanced technology, including sonar and depth charges, improving convoy tactics, and using air cover to protect merchant ships from U-boat attacks. This strategic coordination, along with the production of more ships and the breaking of German codes, allowed the Allies to secure vital supply lines and diminish the effectiveness of German submarines.
Allies fought back against German U-boats by implementing a combination of tactics, including the use of convoy systems to protect merchant ships, which made it harder for U-boats to target isolated vessels. Advancements in technology, such as depth charges and sonar, improved anti-submarine warfare capabilities. Additionally, the introduction of long-range aircraft allowed for aerial patrols over the Atlantic, increasing detection and interception of U-boats. These strategies collectively reduced U-boat effectiveness and contributed to the Allies' naval superiority.

The air war, particularly during World War II, resulted in significant destruction of infrastructure and civilian casualties, ultimately contributing to the Allies' strategic advantage. The Battle of the Atlantic, which spanned the entirety of the war, saw the Allies successfully counter German U-boat threats, ensuring vital supply lines between North America and Europe remained open. By the war's end, the Allies had secured control of the Atlantic, which was crucial for sustaining their military operations and facilitating the invasion of Europe. The combination of improved anti-submarine tactics and technological advancements, such as sonar and depth charges, played a key role in this outcome.

Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt created the Atlantic Charter. This included the eight principles for which the allies were fighting on.
Despite many losses, the Allies prevailed in the Battle of the Atlantic in part due to High Freqency Direction Finding radio technology and interception and decryption of Enigma-encoded signals. In addition, use of aircraft carrier escorts and development of the B-24 Liberator closed the so-called "mid-Atlantic gap" which had been out of aircraft range for the early years of the war. Land forces also played a part, as Germany scuttled hundreds of submarines when their bases were threatened by Allied armies.
