The
Second World War and its Impact on England
Mussolini of Italy and
Hitler of Germany were war mongers. Italy attacked Abyssinia and Germany attacked
Poland. Japan attacked China. These acts of aggression developed into a Second
World War. Russia sided with Germany. England declared war on Germany.
Germany was victorious
in the beginning. It defeated countries like Austria, Poland, Denmark, etc.
America jumped into the fray to stop the victories of Germany. Hitler advanced
to attack Russia. But the cold climate of Russia proved unbearable to the
German soldiers. Many German cities were destroyed. Hitler was helpless. He committed
suicide.
America dropped atom
bombs on two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This incident brought the
Second World War to an end. England and America emerged victorious. But it was
a dubious victory. The U.N.O was formed in order to avert future wars.
Like the First World
War, the Second World War also had a disastrous effect on England. Unemployment
was on the increase. The government implemented many welfare schemes in order
to distress of the people.
