At school, children learned about theBritish Empire, now theCommonwealth. But in 1939 few British children had ever travelled outside Britain. If they had a holiday, most went to the seaside or the country. In a typical family, dad worked while mum looked after the home. Most young people left school at 14, and started work.

Not many people had cars. Most people travelled by bus, train or bike, or walked. Television started in 1936, but very few people had a TV set. Instead families listened to the radio or 'wireless'.

Problems with the evacuation plan in world war 2?

The evacuation plan during World War 2 was flawed in several ways. First of all, the government created a panic by using exaggerated figures for casualties. This panic worked against smooth moving, and caused a bottleneck in the operation. Once the children had arrived in the countryside, they found little or no preparation had been made. As a result, the children arrived at the wrong locations, had few rations, and found out there were not enough homes to accommodate the children.


When did evacuation take place in Britain in World War 2?

Did children get evacuated during world war 1?

Yes. It was the children, that were evacuated; mainly because the government wanted to preserve the future generation. They were mainly evacuated to the countrysides where they lived with rich people, but they were not treated very well. They were servants instead of guests. No, there was no threat of aerial bombing of civillians in WW1. I don't think there was any evacuation anywhere. The most evacuation was in ww2 but there was evacuation because my great grandad was evacuated in ww1.
