Why were Germans bombing London in 1940s?

Germans bombed London during the Blitz in 1940 as part of their strategy to weaken British morale and disrupt the country's war effort. The intense aerial bombardment aimed to destroy key infrastructure, military targets, and industrial sites, while also instilling fear among the civilian population. This campaign was a response to Britain's involvement in World War II and was intended to prepare the way for a potential invasion of the UK. Ultimately, the bombings aimed to force Britain into submission but instead galvanized British resistance.
