3. Information The second world war started on the first of September 1939 and ended on the seventh of May 1945. Adolf Hitler wanted to take charge of the world so he and his army invaded other countries.

6. Work The men that usually did work in the factories and on farms left to fight in the war. Because of that, the women had to do the jobs that the men did.

7. Evacuation When the bombs started to drop, the children in the cities were evacuated to the countryside. They were kept there, not only for their own good, but so that when they were older, they could do all of the things the adults did. As soon as the bombs stopped, the children went back to their own towns. Most of them were terribly affected by the war and would never forget about it until the day they died.
