 The Battle of the Atlantic, which lasted from September 1939 until the defeat of Germany in 1945, was the war’s longest continuous military campaign.  It was 6 years of navel warfare.  This battle was to control the Atlantic shipping lanes involved thousands of ships and stretched across thousands of perilous square miles of ocean. Dates ("The Battle of the Atlantic – a Brief Summary." History in an Hour. N.p., 08 May Web. 21 Jan )

Important People “... The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-boat peril.” - Winston Churchill ("Google." Google. N.p., n.d. Web. 21 Jan ) ("WW2 Aircraft List." WW2 Aircraft. N.p., n.d. Web. 19 Jan )

 In the beginning it was Britain and Canada against the Germans. Then, from the middle of 1940 the Italians joined the German side. From September 1941 the United States joined the Allies, although they had given help before this date without officially being at war with Germany. Countries ("Wikijunior:World War II/Battle of the Atlantic." - Wikibooks, Open Books for an Open World. N.p., n.d. Web. 21 Jan )

 Historians estimate that more than 100 convoy battles took place during the war. They cost the Merchant Navy more than 30,000 men, and around 3,000 ships. The equally terrible cost for the Germans was 783 U-boats, and 28,000 sailors. Important Fact ("Battle of the Atlantic." HISTORY. N.p., 01 Apr Web. 21 Jan )

 This was a Naval war so it was battled on the Atlantic ocean between the European costal line and the British coast Locations

Primary Written Source *This is a Primary written source that talks about how well the U- boats are doing *It shows that the Germans have a great advantage with their submarines and are taking out the British ships very easily from below

 Attacking on the surface at night (where they could not be detected by Allied sonar, or ASDIC), U-boats had great success against Allied convoys, sinking merchant ships with torpedoes and then submerging to evade the counterattack by escorting warships. They were also benefitting from decoded communications of the British Admiralty. In 1941 they inflicted huge losses, sinking 875 Allied ships. Hitler’s Plans ("Battle of the Atlantic." HISTORY. N.p., 01 Apr Web. 21 Jan )

 The ‘hedgehog’ depth-charge mortar was just one innovation that was making life more and more dangerous for U-boat crews. By ‘Black May’ of 1943, U-boat losses were unsustainable – one quarter of their strength in one month, and almost at the same rate as Allied shipping. U-boats were withdrawn from the Atlantic, and the battle was won. Hedgehog ("Battle of the Atlantic." HISTORY. N.p., 01 Apr Web. 21 Jan )

 Early in the war German warships made a number of forays into the shipping lanes, aiming to catch and destroy allied convoys. These had limited success, and led to the loss of major ships including Graf Spee and Bismarck. The Graf Spee and Bismarck

 The outcome of the battle was a strategic victory for the Allies—the German blockade failed—but at great cost: 3,500 merchant ships and 175 warships were sunk for the loss of 783 U-boats. Outcome ("The Battle of the Atlantic - Boundless Open Textbook." Boundless. N.p., n.d. Web. 21 Jan )

 Allied victory in the Second World War would not have been possible without victory at sea. It would require overcoming great odds, but the courage of the RCN, Merchant Navy and RCAF personnel helped keep the Allied convoys running and the supply lines to Europe open. These brave men and women were some of the more than one million Canadians who served in the cause of peace and freedom during the Second World War. Significance ("The Battle of the Atlantic."
