A simplistic answer: During WW2- The government gained more control over the economy than at any other time. Women went to work- often to munitions factories to support the war effort Food and clothing was rationed People were encouraged to grow their own food and 'make do and mend' clothes/household items Bombing (the blitz) reduced entire streets to rubble and killed thousands of civillians After WW2 Economically weak as it had to borrow so much from America The Blitz meant that many people were homeless and there weren't enough raw materials to rebuild as quickly as was needed. The British people were (mostly) put off war, thus voted for Labour. There were shortages of clothes, food and fuel. Soldiers could not go back into their original jobs because some women wanted to keep them. Like most wars, when soldiers returned there was a boom of marriages and babies
