Battle of Britain Worksheet

Britain was in a desperate situation after May 1940 because it had been evacuated from mainland Europe. Hitler's plan to invade Britain was called Operation Sea Lion. It was important for the Luftwaffe to destroy the RAF before the invasion because German planes would need to control the skies over the English Channel for a seaborne invasion to succeed. Churchill's attitude about the coming battle, as described in Source A, was defiant and determined. Technology played an important role in helping the RAF win the Battle of Britain, as radar and fighter aircraft allowed them to detect incoming German planes and mount effective defenses. The Battle of Britain was an important turning point in the war because if Britain had been defeated, Germany would have controlled Western Europe.
