1- After fighting two World Wars, the United Kingdom lost its standing as one of the top world powers.
2- UK had a large empire prior to WW2 but after the war many countries sought their independence. Some countries such as India did not gain their independence for many years but WW2 was a catalyst that began this change.
3- The UK had to borrow money from the US to pay for the war. This was not paid finally back until recently.
4- Food and clothing was rationed for many years. It was not until 1948 that the British could buy sweets (candy) again.
5- No cars were built between 1940 and 1950 so everybody had to drive round in old bangers for years.
6- The UK had to maintain a large army of occupation based in Germany for many years. This meant that all males had to spend two years in the armed services.
7- Many men returned from the war to find they had no job and had to find new jobs.
7- Large areas of countryside had been converted to aerodromes and army camps and could not be converted back. The beaches had to be cleared of anti-tank defenses and barbed wire.
8- Many cities had been seriously bombed and had to be rebuilt. Coventry Cathedral was totally destroyed and was rebuilt.
Britain went from being the strongest world power in front of the U.S to being the weakest
Women started to rebell against the rights of men.
However woman got their rights they need E.G. woman were not allowed to vote.Even if a man spend the whole day in bar drinking and who a woman who spent the whole day hard working.The man who is lazy and doing nothing is allowed to vote but the hard working woman is not allowed to vote.
On my side of opinion women had more choices and life after the war.This meant the women wouldn't be house property anymore.
It was bad, there were many people unemployed or in very poor circumstances.
