During the war women were employed in many occupations that were exclusively male beforehand. Their contribution resulted in women first being given the vote at the end of the war.

Many men were dissapointed to find that the "Land fit for heroes" that they had been promised they would return to was simply politician's talk. This led to the rise of the socialist movement and a determination not to follow the expectations of the old class system.

The cost of the war had to be met through heavy taxes which caused many of the upper classes to sell off their big country estates when death duties became due on them.

All in all Britain was a much poorer country after the war and became even more so after the Wall Street Crash.
