Question 12 • Virginia and US History

Which of these is true of Great Britain’s participation in World War II in 1940?

Answer
A
Its Royal Air Force won the Battle of Britain.
B
Its Royal Navy lost the Battle of the Atlantic.
C
Its Royal Air Force lost the Battle of the Atlantic.
D
Its land troops outmaneuvered Germany’s.

Explanation

In 1940, the Royal Air Force helped defeat Germany’s attempt to gain control of the skies over Britain. This victory became known as the Battle of Britain and prevented a German invasion by air and sea. The Battle of the Atlantic was a prolonged naval campaign, not a battle won or lost by the RAF in 1940.
