The Influence Of The Yalta Conference On The Battle Of Britain

One of our first steps in finding a topic that we were both interested in. World War two was one subject that we both were very interested in. One of the first topics that we decided to do more research on was the Yalta Conference. This topic seemed like it was too narrow though so we decided to broaden our view on WWII for a topic. We finally decided that we wanted to do our project on a specific country's role in the war and to be even more precise a specific person that took a stand and was very impactful in the winning of the war. We decided to focus on the time around and before the Battle of Britain as this was one of the largest turning points in the war where one country took a stand against a nation whose ultimate goal was world domination.
We both knew a little about WWII but not as much as we needed so we started with finding general information around the topic. This included a couple documentaries on the subject, a timeline including important dates of wars along with changes of power and pacts or agreements made between countries. While doing this research we noticed that many of Winston Churchill's speeches were listed so we decided to find the audio and listen to a lot of them. We also checked out the series of books that were written by him but most of the content of them related to things outside of our topic. After we knew what exact events we were going to focus on we started collecting primary sources from these topics. There were many photographs and audiovisuals as the camera was starting to become popular around this time
