Effects of WW2 on Britain? Effects of “total war”Economic effects Social effects Political effects

WHAT WAS THE EFFECT OF 6 YEARS OF “TOTAL WAR”? Mass evacuation of children Air raid shelters; sand bags; gas masks; blackouts. Cinemas/theatres closed and football matches banned. Emergency Powers Act Rationing 1941 due to chronic shortages of food, fuel and clothing: 8 ounces of meat1 ounce of cheese4 ounces bacon/ham 8 ounces of sugar2 ounces of tea2 ounces of butter & jam Points system – 16 points available over 4 weeks for tinned food; rice; peas and tomatoes; condensed milk; biscuits, etc.

Conscription for men and women if required. Home Guard volunteers for men aged Bombing from Sept – London Blitz for 76 consecutive nights. Coventry, Liverpool, Manchester, Plymouth, Hull, Glasgow, Belfast all suffered. Hundreds of thousands homeless. 500,000 buildings destroyed and millions more needing repair. How did “total war” affect the British civilian population?

LONG TERM SOCIAL EFFECTS? A “social revolution”? prompted heart-searching re: social problems. The middle-classes saw deprivation of the working classes through experiences such as evacuation and public air-raid shelters. It was widely believed that the lower classes/poorer sections of society had “earned” their right to a better life through their contribution to the war (e.g. better education, health, welfare and standard of living). This new way of thinking led to two important developments during the war:

The BEVERIDGE REPORT (1942) Sir William Beveridge – Liberal who led a government appointed committee on social insurance. identified 5 great evils that needed dealing with – WANT / DISEASE / IGNORANCE / SQUALOR / IDLENESS suggestion to deal with these problems through insurance schemes, child allowances, a National Health Service and a policy of full employment. Only Family Allowances introduced before end of war. The BUTLER EDUCATION ACT (1944) Butler was the Conservative President of the Board of Education. Secondary education was made available free to all. School age raised to 15 years from Also established 3 types of secondary school: grammar, technical and secondary modern.

THE MAIN POLITICAL EFFECTS OF THE WAR? Labour Government elected in July 1945 – complete shock to many who expected the Conservatives led by Churchill to win. The war gave valuable experience to many Labour ministers. THE ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF THE WAR? 1939 – GB gold reserves = £864 million 1941 – GB gold reserves = £3 million US Lend-Lease Act 1941 loaned GB money and supplies to be paid back after the war. By 1945 Britain became largest debtor nation c. £3.5 billion
