How did the Battle of Britain relate to the Blitz?

The Battle of Britain, fought between July and October 1940, was primarily an air campaign waged by the German Luftwaffe to gain air superiority over the Royal Air Force (RAF) in preparation for an invasion of the UK. Following the Battle of Britain, the Blitz commenced in September 1940, marking a sustained campaign of aerial bombings aimed at British cities, particularly London. While the Battle of Britain focused on military targets and air control, the Blitz sought to demoralize the British population and disrupt daily life. Together, these events highlighted the strategic importance of air power in World War II and the resilience of British society in the face of sustained attacks.
