When Hitler decided to invade Britain he found getting across what would be the major challenge?
The English Channel
Why did the invasion of France have to begin at night?
To hide the ships carrying the men and equipment across the English Channel.
How did British soldiers get to France in World War 1?
British soldiers were transported to France during World War 1 primarily by ships. The soldiers were transported across the English Channel from various ports in England, including Southampton, Folkestone, and Dover. Once in France, they were then transported by rail to their respective deployment areas.
What geographic factor made it unlikely that world war 1 battles would be fought in Great Britain?
The same reason as Napoleon & in WW2, the difficulty of getting sufficient invading forces across the English Channel.
After Hitler took control of France how did he hope to force Great Britain's surrender?
Hitler needed to gain air superiority over the British Royal Air Force, so he could direct an invasion force across the English Channel - he failed. He cancelled his plan to invade Britain and turned eastwards to attack Russia instead.
