Assessment 4 The Battle Of Britain 
The battle of Britain contributed significantly to the outcome of WWII. It was a morale booster for the Allies as it was Hitler’s first real defeat and the first turning point in WWII. The battle of Britain was fought from the 1st of July to 31st of October 1940 (Walsh, Why did Britain win the Battle of Britain?, 2001). It ended when Germany’s Luftwaffe failed to gain air superiority over the Royal Air Force, after months of them targeting Britain’s air bases, military posts, navy ships and the civilian population (History.com Staff, 2009). Britain’ air power contributed to its impact of WWII, the other contributing factors were the tactics they employed throughout battle and the effect of the Blitz.
The battle of Britain contributed significantly to the outcome of WWII with the use of air power. It was the first time that air power alone decided the outcome of a major battle. The German air attacks against Britain were massive and their initial intensity lasted a while (Staff, Spark Notes). However the British military knew that their key to survival would be to stop the Luftwaffe. The German attacks could not be maintained if they were consistently losing twice as many aircrafts as the British. By the end of the battle of Britain, Germany had lost 1,700 planes compared to the British losing 900 planes (Staff, Spark Notes). The new technology of radar came as a great value. The British could scramble fighters in the right place at the right time as the British built a net of radar stations along their coastline and could see the enemy coming (Staff, Spark Notes). Although the Germans made an effort to bomb the British radar stations early on in the war, but they gave up this strategy as they believed it was ineffective. This proved to be a major mistake (Staff, Spark Notes). The way the British fought back with air power and the Germans struggling is why the battle of Britain contributed significantly to the outcome of WWII.
