During World War II, the English Channel served as the first defense line of Great Britain. It was especially important in 1940, when the full might of Germany was ready to be directed against the island-nation. With the Channel blocking their way, the Germans were forced to take control of the air as the first step in their invasion-plan, yet the British, with the Channel as their vital ally, denied this step to the Germans and preserved the nation's independence.
