Why did great Britain fight in World War 2?

Answer 1

They didnt invade Britain,they couldn't Britain was to well prepared etc. that's why Hitler only bombed them from the air, it was the only thing Germany could do against the British.

The answer to this question has just been released by a couple of German and Polish exsperts in "War Games" War Games is what the Germans invented to prep for invading France. ( you know the map where you push peices across it and plan your moves/invasion) The Germans invented that and it had great sucess with there planning/invasions.

Two Experts in War Games have taken all known records and data from World War 2 and spent many years studying to see if Germany would of eventuly invaded Great Britain and the answer is "very unlikely"

Great Britain and the British obviously done the unthinkable by taking over more of the world than anyother country ( The British Empire) The British were just to far ahead in terms of Military/soldier power and experience ( you know German troops among many other troops around the world based themselves on the British S.A.S)

Great Britain being such a small country with such advanced troops/soldiers was a big advantage because the whole out line of Great Britain every single inch was protected and ready for battle. with dragons teeth,mines at sea and on the beaches,barbed wire, and then cannons that fired out 10 miles at sea would of destroyed anything that got within 10 miles of Britain would of been destroyed,also these cannons could of been turned to fire 10 miles inland just incase. add that to the fact the British invented the NAVY and there NAVY was far greater than anyother,so Hitler knew invading by sea was out of the question.

You can NEVER stop an invasion only try and prevent one. The only possible way Germany could of invaded Britain was by the air parachuting troops in. BUT there was far to many problems/dangers with this. One being the British R.A.F ( British also invented the R.A.F) were the best out there so flying over Britain was going to be (and was) a big challenge for the Germans. Hitler even tried flying over Britain and bombing inactive British air bases/landing strips. but the British were one step ahead and built fake movie/film landing strips fully equiped with fake wooden planes in dissused fields. they looked so real from the air that the Germans would bomb them thinking they had destroyed more of the British Air Force but infacted they just destroyed decoys. this method had a 70% sucess rate in fooling the Germans. Also another sneaky clever method by the British was to take just 2 men with a high powerd torch,stand in a dark feild and shine the torch from the sky along the ground giving the impression planes were landing and it was a hidden darkend landing strip for the British R.A.F. this was also a very simple method that fooled the Germans.

The other trouble with Hitler prachuting troops into Britain would be, that once troops had parachuted in wich ones hadnt been destroyed by the British R.A.F and by troops on the ground. ( bare in mind British home troops the everyday dads and mums of Britain were all trained in Gurella Warfare) all sign posts in Britain ahd been taken down and detstroyed so any foreigners landing in Britain would of been lost. every bridge in Britain was gaurded by the Gueralla Warefare trained home guards and every single secluded part of Britain was coverd by hidden out houses in every wood,river side EVERWYEHERE in Britain was prepared and coverd, they left no stone unturned. Its estimated that if Germany invaded by air that 150,000 troops would of parachuted in, but Britain was also one step ahead and prepared for such an invasion, some of those 150,000 troops would of been killed by the Air Force and some by ground troops,then on landing the British were too prepared ( they had 6 long years to prepare remember) the remaining German troops that would of survived wouldn't of survived long because the British had all entry by sea coverd,therefore the Germans couldn't ship in extra ammunition to there troops. it would of been just a matter of time before the Germans would of been killed or captured as prisoners.

This is the reason why Hitler attacked and bombed by the air, it was pretty much his only option he had against the British.

Answer 2

Britain and France had a defence agreement with Poland which stated that if Poland was attacked, Britain and France would come to its aid. On September 1st 1939, Germany launched an all out attack on Poland. Britain and France demanded that Germany withdraw its troops from Poland. Germany ignored the demand so on September 3rd 1939, Britain and France both declared war on Germany.

Answer 3

It wasn't, the nearest the German Army got was the Channel Islands.

Answer 4

Germany invaded Britain because Germany had a leader that was determined to take over Europe

Answer 5

Once the Nazi's attacked Poland they were forced to Help because of Treatys and Packs they had made with this country and others to Help if ATTACKED.
