Question

what saved many british and french forces from the germans in 1940?
the bombing of pearl harbor
the battle of the atlantic
the evacuation of dunkirk
the destroyers for bases agreement

Explanation:

• The bombing of Pearl Harbor occurred in 1941, not 1940.
• The Battle of the Atlantic was a long - running naval campaign throughout the war, not specifically an event in 1940 that saved British and French forces.
• The Evacuation of Dunkirk (Operation Dynamo) took place in 1940. It was a military operation where Allied forces (mainly British and French) were evacuated from the beaches and harbor of Dunkirk, France, after being cut off by German forces.
• The Destroyers for Bases agreement was in 1940 but it was about the US providing destroyers to the UK in exchange for base rights, not directly about saving forces from the Germans.

Answer:

the Evacuation of Dunkirk
