The Second World War and its Impact on England

 

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.
