Why was the world upside down 1647?

The world was upside down in 1647 England because the King had been defeated by parliament, turning the social order of the Kingdom on its head. But not for very long. The monarchy (Charles II) was restored in 1660. Actually, the social order was not seriously disturbed except in a few areas; most of the rural social order was very little disturbed.


How did World War I help with women suffrage?

World War 1, and the apparent increase of women taking up mens jobs (temporarily in the most part) as 29% of Britains work force had gone to fight in the war allowed women to prove themselves as capable of doing typically men's jobs and eradicate the separate spheres philosophy that shaped Victorian Britain's society (women's life was in the domestic home doing cooking and cleaning whereas men's role was in finance, law and government). However it may also have been down to the increasing fear of communism within Britain. Due to the 1919 Bolshevik Revolution, leading Russia to pull out of World War 1 (potentially leaving Britain exposed as Germany could then abandon the Eastern Front and mobilise an extra 1 million troops to concentrate on the Western Front) and people feared that with so few people being allowed the vote, that they may create their own uprising. So in 1918, women over 30 were given the right to vote and in 1928, women over 21 were given this same right!!


During the 1920s women were more likely to?

The women in the 1920's still had very few civil rights. They had gained the right to vote and some had begun to work in the new telephone system as operators, others in offices, some as teachers. There were no women in Congress or political office. Getting into college was also hard for women and becoming a doctor or lawyer was virtually impossible. The majority of women were homemakers and mothers.
