Answer:

After Germany's victory over France in June 1940, Adolf Hitler had anticipated that the British would try to reach a peace agreement, but Britain was determined about continuing the war.

Hitler considered military options to end the war quickly and instructed his army to be ready for Operation Sealion, his code name for an invasion of Britain. However, the Germans had to seize control of the skies over southern England and eliminate the threat posed by the Royal Air Force in order for the invasion to have any chance of success.
