What was one factor that prevented a German invasion of Great Britain in 1940?
ChuckSiata
In 1940 Britain was deficient in military defense if a German army was able to land an invasion force on British soil. Britain's defense depended on the Royal Navy to control the English Channel. The Royal Navy did control the channel because it had convenient bases and a large number of cruisers that were well armed and could sink any German transport ships. The German navy was far too weak to combat Britain's navy in the channel.

What made Britain so hard to conquer?
The fact that Britain is an island is an important factor. You have to embark your soldiers, which makes things more complicated. The other factor was that she built a powerful navy. The Romans, Vikings and Normans conquered Britain before the islanders had a significant navy. Later, the British navy defeated the Spanish invincible armada (fleet). Victory at sea was key to staving off this attempt at invasion. In World War II the air force fought and won the Battle of Britain in the skies which ended Hitler's hope to invade by destroying British industry with his air force, which was a strategy he used because he did hot have much of a chance to defeat the British naval defence. Hitler also tried to starve Britain through a naval blockade, but the convoys to and from America prevented this, despite German submarines sinking many ships.

Where did the battle of Britain occur?
The term Battle of Britain is usually used to mean the fight between the German Air Force (Luftwaffe - literally Air Weapon) and the Royal Air Force or RAF.The battle was an attempt to prepare Britain for an invasion by the German army by eliminating the RAF as a factor. The German army and Navy maintained that they could not cross the English Channel and attack if the RAF was still able to destroy the ships and barges carrying troops.The Luftwaffe launched a series of attacks designed to force the RAF to defend Britain and thus allow the destruction of the RAF. Through skillful use of the limited number of planes, the RAF was able to avoid destruction and seriously damage the Luftwaffe in the process.The battle involved many painful choices for the British. For example, Churchill and the RAF leaders knew that Coventry was going to be attacked one night, but had to do nothing special so they wouldn't give away the fact that they could read German coded messages. Major parts of Coventry were bombed and destroyed to save the secret.Eventually the RAF caused so much damage to the Luftwaffe that the attacks were curtailed and the invasion was cancelled. In recounting the results of the battle, Winston Churchill spoke about the fighter pilots of the RAF when he said..."Never have so many owed so much to so few."To Summarize . . .The Battle of Britain was fought in the skies over England and specifically London as the German air force tried to destroy the British air force and demoralize the civilians.

Why was London a particular target of Hitler and the German military?
London (being the capital of Great Britain) was bombed in retaliation for the earlier bombing by the British of Berlin, the capital of Germany. It was mostly a 'particular target' for Hitler who felt gravely insulted by the bombing of his capital city. The German military on the other hand had been focusing up to then on the bombing of British military air fields. Historians generally believe that if the German command had been allowed to go on focusing on the air fields, the British air force might have been largely destroyed, making a German invasion feasible. As it was, the focus on London allowed the RAF to rebuild and regroup, which probably was a major factor in Germany's decision to call off the invasion of Britain.
