The consequences of the Battle of Britain were significant. It marked a turning point in World War II as it was the first major defeat for Hitler and the Nazi regime. The battle also prevented Germany from gaining air superiority over Britain, which was crucial in their overall strategy. Additionally, the Battle of Britain boosted morale among the British population and strengthened the resolve of the Allies to continue fighting against Nazi aggression.

The Battle of Britain was a major air battle fought between the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and the German Luftwaffe during World War II. It was primarily a result of the German invasion of France and the Low Countries in May 1940, which led to the Dunkirk evacuation. Following this, Germany planned to launch an amphibious invasion of Britain known as Operation Sea Lion. However, before attempting the invasion, Germany needed to gain air superiority over the English Channel, leading to the Battle of Britain in July 1940.

There were approximately 2,550 German soldiers wounded in the Battle of Britain.

No, Hitler's power was not lost in the Battle of Britain. While the battle was a significant setback for the German Luftwaffe, it did not result in a loss of power for Hitler. Germany continued its military campaigns throughout World War II, and Hitler remained in control until his death in 1945. The Battle of Britain was an important turning point in the war, but it did not directly lead to Hitler's downfall.

This just refers to the fact that at the time of the Battle of Britain, all other European countries had been overrun by Nazi Germany. The USA was still neutral so Britain was standing alone against a formidable enemy.

Hitler expected a quick and decisive Axis victory over the RAF, and it was the first, vital step in a possible invasion of the British Isles.

But it didn't work out how he'd planned. The Luftwaffe was never able to establish the air superiority it needed for the land invasion.

Answer The period 1550 to 1650, one hundred years, covered many events in British History including the reigns of five monarchs, the lifetime of William Shakespeare, The English Civil War, the execution of King Charles I and many other events. "Britain", of course includes Wales and Scotland, where there were also numerous significant events, changes of government and changing alliances with other parts of Britain. It could not be said that there was a single "political atmosphere" during this time as the atmosphere changed so many times. It may be better to ask a more specific question.

The Battle of Britain was an air battle fought in the skys above southern England in late summer 1940

The German Luftwaffe (airforce) tried in vain to bomb Great Britain into submission. Germany however failed thanks to the Royal Air Force thus resulting in a devastating blow to Germany, one it never recovered.

Ummmm roughly speaking I'd hazard a guess at precisely.... none ! I don't think the Italian air force was in any way involved in the Battle of Britain.

Hitler wanted to destroy the British war effort by destroying the docks and the Navy, and the Royal Air Force. This meant his invasion of Britain, codenamed Operation Sealion, would be a lot easier.

Originally, Goering (the head of the German Airforce, the Luftwaffe) sent his bombers to destroy British airfields, which he boasted would only take a few weeks. This was very successful, and the RAF would soon have been destroyed, if a lone German bomber had not accidentally bombed the outskirts of London one night. Churchill ordered that Berlin be bombed in retaliation, and in outcry, Hitler ordered that all attacks on RAF airfields be halted and the attack of British cities begin. This meant that the RAF could recover, and meant that we could fight back the Luftwaffe.

Hitler's aim in the Battle of Britain was to weaken the UK sufficiently so that he could invade.

During WW II, Germany attacked Britain, and Britain retaliated. That's what happens in times of war. You bomb me, and I'll bomb you. Fortunately all of that is over, and Britain and Germany are good friends in the 21st century.

The Prime Minister at the time of the Battle of Britain was Winston Churchill.

General Sir Julian Byng's entire Canadian corps of four divisions saw action during the Battle of the Somme. In all the Corps suffered over 24 000 casualties on the Somme, about 25 per cent of those were deaths. The Canadians held the line on the left flank of General Henry Rawlinson's British fourth army. On September 15th the Canadians attacked along the Albert-Bapaume Road and captured the town of Courcelette a heavily fortified strategically important German stronghold. Throughout the fall of 1916 the Canadians fought off repeated German counter attacks and conducted multiple attacks themselves. Before the battle was over, the Canadians took their primary objective: a deep system of fortified trenches the Canadians labeled the Regina Trench, and beyond, on November 18th, the Desire Trench. On November 19th, General Sir Authur Haig called off any further assaults and the Battle of the Somme ended. In addition to fighting in the four divisions of the Canadian Corps many Canadians fought in units of the British army and in the Royal Flying Corps actions over the Somme. Soldiers from Newfoundland and Labrador fought with the British in the opening attack on July 1st at Beaumont-Hammel. The Royal Newfoundland regiment took over 700 casualties from 800 troops involved in the opening attacks that morning.

Germany committed about 4,000 aircraft to the battle in total, about 6,000 to 7,000 aircrew plus about ten times as many men in maintenance and support roles.

Britain had about 2,000 aircraft with 2,500 aircrew plus about 100,000 ground crew, observers and radar operators and command and control personnel.

In addition, the Germans bombed all the cities they could reach with their aircraft, menaing that the entire population of Southern England, about 20 million civilians were involved in the battle.

The only aircraft that fought in Battle of Britain were British aircraft in RAF and German aircraft in Luftwaffe. The Italian Air Force was not involved.

No. The Battle of Britain was a defensive air battle, and the RAF fought the Luftwaffe with fighter aeroplanes. The Lancaster was a four-engined bomber which didn't come into service until after the BofB.
