The English Channel
Great Britain
The Battle of Britain took place against the Nazi bomber and fighter planes in the skies over Great Britain during the Summer of 1940, during a period when Britain stood alone against them. It was fought in the skies over Britain after France surrendered following the Battle of France. It takes its name from a speech Churchill gave in which he said, "The Battle of France is over. The Battle of Britain is about to begin."
In the context of World War II, Winston Churchill became famous as the 'bulldog-leader' of Great Britain who refused to give in to the Nazi menace in 1940 and beyond. Appointed as Prime Minister of the island-nation in May of 1940, Churchill immediately galvanized British leadership and the British people by declaring that Great Britain would not surrender to Germany: he helped the nation resist even when it alone stood between the Nazis and their final victory in 1940-1941.

For Great Britain, everything evolves around "WWII"; so when Britain says on televison, "post war" they're saying WWII. WWII was Great Britains "...We stood alone, ...and so many owed so much to so few (RAF pilots during the Battle of Britain),...and "we will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them in the air, we will never surrender! (Winston Churchill). So...when one thinks of Great Britain, one must think in terms of World War II (this is their time line). The cold war has little to do with Britain; other than the fact that Britain was a major US ally (under NATO) and that the US had many military installations in Europe and Britain. Other than that, the US invented and used atomic bombs, no one else has ever done so. The cold war was between the super-powers of the US & USSR, with everyone else falling behind them, second, third, fourth, etc.
Great Britain
In 1940 the US France had been defeated, and only Great Britain stood in the way of a Nazi Western Europe. It was not certain that Great Britain would win or lose. If Great Britain fell, the US would be the only major democracy in the world.

Basically, there were two reasons.Firstly, the English Channel stood between France and Britain - Britain really did rule the waves!Secondly, Napoleon was not a naval person, he thought as a land commander, but was all at sea on the water.
Federalists favored an alliance with Great Britain as the nation that was most likely to promote commerce and investment in the United States. Federalists also believed that the government of Great Britain stood as a strong model of constitutional order, as opposed to what they saw as the radicalism of the French Revolution.
If the colonists declared independence from Great Britain, they stood to lose protection from the British military, which could leave them vulnerable to attacks from other countries or Native American tribes. Additionally, they could lose access to British trade networks and markets, impacting their economy and ability to import goods.
The real answer is that it held when they stood up and took their independence and broke their ties with great Britain
Because of the Boston Tea Party, where the local people of Boston stood up for there rights, to stop the British raising there taxes, this all started a chain reaction, which as you can see led to Britain's downfall....If the outcome had changed..Britain would probably still have a firm hand on America and possibly the world! Hope I have helped!
During World War II, the three main Axis powers were Germany, Italy, and Japan. In opposition to them stood the three main Allies: Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States.
Stalin was involved in the Battle of Britain? I think he just stood back and watched...
