How did Dunkirk lead to the battle of Britain?
Because the evacuation from Dunkirk saved 338,226 soldiers [British & French]. While equipment could be replaced men could not. Although a massive amount of equipment was lost, Dunkirk was probably Hitler's greatest mistake next to attacking Russia because if he had pressed home his attack he would have as good as wiped-out the army and destroyed morale.

Why was the Battle of Dunkirk a motavational miracle in Britain?
I don't think it was. Dunkirk returned to Britain many soldiers, hundreds of thousands, by very good fortune. They left all their equipment behind. What it did, by use of propaganda, was to galvanise the British in defence & defiance of Nazism. But it was undoubtedly a defeat ! There would now be 4 long years before the British would return to France. Stating the obvious:Wars are not won by defeats.
