Which of the following was a major outcome of the battle of britain?
a. german troops were forced to continue fighting the allies in western europe. b. the united states entered the war as the new leader of the allied powers.
c. france was able to launch a successful counterattack against the distracted germans.
d. japanese leaders were convinced that surprise attacks could be effective against the united states.

The correct answer is A. The major outcome of the Battle of Britain was that German troops were forced to continue fighting the Allies in Western Europe, as they couldn't take all the territory, with England remaining on the allied side.

The Battle of Britain was the first great battle entirely contested in the air. It was the largest and busiest air campaign to date and the first test of the bombing strategies that emerged since the First World War and it was also the first time during WWII that Germany was defeated. This defeat supposed that, when Hitler invaded the USSR in 1941, Germany would fight in a war with two fronts open at the same time, contradicting his ideas exposed in Mein Kampf, in which he exposed the geographical disadvantage of Germany, positioned among the Western democratic powers (like the United Kingdom and France) and the socialist government of the USSR, with respect to other powers and therefore should never fight a war without first closing a front before opening another.

roosevelt essentially took the opposite approach as hoover in taking on the great depression. herbert hoover thought that america and its economy could naturally recover from the depression in due course, so he adamantly restrained the federal government from intervening on behalf of the people affected. on the other hand, roosevelt dramatically increased employment by expanding the federal government and establishing agencies that would aid in relieving some of the country's worst problems.
