The Positive Effects Of The Blitz War On Britain

During WWII, the women worked and demanded changes from working unions. Women were able to get maternity leave, equal pay for equal work, and childcare for when they were working. The women took over all of the jobs, even ones that were easier for the men to do, so that the men could go

From September 1940 to May 1941, a horrific event ran through England. The Blitz was a series of bombing that the Nazi carried out on most parts of England and aimed especially at Londoners. The Nazi thought that they could weaken Britain’s strength and over power Britain so it would be easier to take over; during this, over a million homes were demolished and the bombings killed more than 40,000 people. It is questioned whether the existence of the Blitz Spirit is correct or just a myth; some people agree that it was real, ‘during the Blitz, people pulled together. It didn’t matter whether you were rich or poor – everyone helped each other out and got on with their lives as best as they could. That was the Blitz spirit.’ However other people go against that and say, ‘the idea of the “Blitz spirit” was invented to make people feel better. In reality, people did not come

The year was 1940; the world’s second great World War was in full swing, with Britain and Germany at the forefront. The fall of Britain’s closest ally, France, stunned the British Empire and threw it into disarray. Through the chaos, Winston Churchill emerged. Churchill would be an inspiring leader who was able to rally the entire nation in times of hardship. Through his leadership, the “British Bulldog” would face the Axis powers and come out victorious, as well as become a public hero for the British people. Yet, immediately after the war, Churchill did not return to the prime minister seat because of a shocking defeat in his re-election, despite his immense reputation he gained from the war. Though lauded by the British population for his prowess as a wartime leader, Churchill’s conservative politics were out of touch with a population ready for post-war relief and led to his defeat in the 1945 election.

Prior to World War II women were seen as house wives, taking care of children and tending the gardens. Women generally accepted these roles because family was a prior economic unit. Even during World War I the contributions were housewife like, washing clothing, cooking, helping the wounded, sewing, knitting clothing, and etc. The images of women taking care of the home while men were off working were so nailed into the head that some states banned women from jobs. Once the war started to take place the war effort was so great men and women had to set aside gender roles for the sake of their countries being. Women left families, education, and other jobs to work the jobs men took on while they were off serving the country in combat, etc.

In this essay I will assess the significance of strategic bombing of Germany. I will do this by evaluating four key areas of the German war effort. This will include German and British moral, German economy, its effect on the outcome of the Eastern Front and the results of the preparation for D-Day. Overall allied bombing did not have a significant impact on the outcome of the war as for the majority of the war bombing techniques and technology were primitive and so had little effect. It only became a threatening tool latter on in the war, when the allies had effectively won.

World War II changed the lives of many Americans overnight. Men, women, children, everyone was impacted by it in one way or another. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese, the United States made the decision to enter World War II and fight back. World War II gave those who were discriminated against better opportunities. World War II impacted many Americans especially Latinos, African Americans, and women. Even though they were all discriminated against equally before World War II, during World War II Latinos and African Americans had a more positive experience than women.

In the Blitzkrieg bombing of Britain, the country needed support more than ever as their patience was growing thin. It was at this very crucial moment in history when the British were about fall to the Germans overwhelming military when Winston Church gave his famous speech, “Their Finest Hour.” This would be the speech that changes the tide of the war, and inspired the British people to rally together against the German forces. In his famous speech, he focuses on the patriotism of the British people and letting them know that this war was far from over, and they weren’t going to go down without one heck of a fight. The reason this speech was so successful and uplifting was because Churchill was able to present it in a way to make all the British

World War One had a large impact on the American society. Men were no longer able to work because they were focused on the war and women were left alone. With the demand for resources to support the total war, women were forced to leave their domestic jobs and focus directly on supporting war industries. The total war caused the advancement of women equality by starting them with these new careers in factories, nursing, and building weapons which created a more equal society. Before the war men were the ones to control society leaving women with domestic jobs such as being a maid or working in textile.

The significance of the bombing has to be considered in relation to its cost. It took up 7% of Britain’s war effort; 120,000 American and British airmen died; and 21,000 bombers were lost. Some argue that the money should have been spent on developing and building better surface ships and tanks and that, as the British Naval blockade had suffocated Germany of much needed resources, its defeat was inevitable

After World War II the women of America had new choices and old problems facing them. They had the opportunity to be well educated, make their own informed choices about birth control. These same women who had won the semi-equality they had been fighting for, now must face their choices and be the best wife and mother they can be. Many women felt they were not meant to be only mothers and wives and tried to take matters into their own hands and some even remained single working women.

Men were leaving, people were fighting, and many were dying. World War II was one of the hardest times, and during that difficult time, women stepped up their roles and had a huge impact during the war. The women during World II in the United States and in Europe impacted the war by taking different jobs and becoming employed in the workforce, working in the home with normal household responsibilities while supporting the men oversees, and entering into the military with sacrifice.

After getting an education as well as knowing there worth in society women knew there were more than just a wife and mother. During WWII women demonstrated their power to think in a world without men as they were off fighting the war. Women began to understand that they had more to offer the world other than housekeeping and raising children. In addition, many women wanted to continue working after the war as they had held jobs with responsibilities as well as earning wages. Furthermore, women were the ones making financial decisions as well as working in positions with higher responsibilities. Many women as well as minorities were simply casted a side to make room for the returning solders. This created a silent discontent among women

The Great War involved most of the adult population either 'head on' or discretely. On average, 6 million men served in Britain's armed forces during the course of the war. Many millions of innocent civilians had their lives affects to the overall changes, both economic and social that the war caused or added to. The impact of the war varied greatly between the different regions of the sommunity. There were many differences and considerations ; these being gender and social class, so it is had to dinstinguish and measure the war's exact impact on people's attitudes, beliefs and values.

“The Destructors” reflects post-war Britain through the social climate, class divisions, and connections can be made to present day society. Specifically, the first blitz’s aftermath created a big impact on Britain at the time and up to today. Unfortunately, separation developed within families and old family structures were less tied. On the other hand, women received more recognition as they became more involved in the work force, which will benefit them politically in modern society. Equally important, social class divisions united together to help one another in their speciality. Lastly, post-war Britain achieved scientific advances, legislative process rose, and participated in conferences to set up prevention from another world economic

The effect that World War I had upon civilians was devastating. WWI was a war that affected civilians on an unprecedented scale. Civilians became a military target.
