Battle of Britain- Germany tried to take out troops, air force and navy, failed at taking down the air force, then bombed cities at night to scare people, invasion never happened, Ultra was interception and deciphering of German code, many cities were destroyed
What did US do in late 1930s that pushed us closer to war? Cash and carry system- have to pay up front and carry it out on their own ships; Bases for Destroyers- military bases for ships, we gave our ships to GB and we got to some bases; Lend Lease Act- 1941, gave artillery as long as we got it back after the war
