the children in the first world war didnt really do anything because they were all evacuated to save them from getting hurt
^^^^ Evacuation procedures were not used in World War 1.
In World War 1, younger children would be kept hidden from the war by their mothers, to stop panic from the children. If you were over the age of around 7, you would probably go to work, or help out and fill the missing places of the men at war.

∙ 13y agoThe main problem would be that millions of European women lost their husbands or fiancees in the conflict. Especially in Britain, Germany and France there was a very serious dearth of young manhood after the War. This meant that many women were widowed, as well as a great many more who never married, and widows usually did not re-marry as young men due to the millions of fatalites were greatly outnumbered by young women in that postwar generation. Millions of children were raised by lone, struggling mothers.
This situation affected myriad people. It is hard for us to visualize the full extent of this problem as we have not experienced such a vast depletion of men since that time. The carnage of WW ONE was unprecendented and, so far at least, there has been nothing to equal its effects in Western Europe in the annals of modern history.
Other men were affected with poisonous gas or lost their limbs in the constant artillery pummelling and could never function as healthy human beings again. This must have also had a serious effect on family life in the postwar years.
Some children must have suffered by a degree of evacuation that apparently occurred, or just by the separation from the influence of a father in combat when this occurred during the formative years of children.
