The way Britain took a stand was how they stood against the Nazi forces and held their ground even when others had no hope, the point is, that even when everyone thought they were done for, the British still had hope and resisted to the German forces. 3 weeks before the battle, Winston Churchill the British prime minister at the time delivered a famous speech in the house of commons right after the Battle of Britain. In the speech he mainly talked about how Hitler was going to come to Britain next and the whole nation will have to stand up against the Nazi forces. He describes this battle as great importance and will be either the end of christian and western civilization, where even or a victory that will change the coarse of the entire war.
