The Home Front in the First World War had a major impact on the War Effort. The Home Front was vital to the outcome of the First World War. Wars had traditionally been fought by men on battlefields, often in the distant lands. But the First World War was different. The communities left behind became more than spectators awaiting news of battle, they became participants. The growing demand for munitions, men and machinery forced governments to intervene more and more in the management of the economy and the lives of the citizens. Winston Churchill described it as no ordinary war, but a struggle between nations for life and death that would demand a massive commitment of both human and material resources. The result was a total war, with all activities of civilians and industry directed towards the war effort. In Britain, civilians directly experienced the horrors of war when German warships bombarded east-coast towns, and Zeppelins dropped bombs on London.

What was World War one like?

World War One was, just like other wars, not very pleasant. On the front lines solders on both sides had to live in trenches and had to deal with disease, rats, fleas, and not getting killed. On the home front in countries close to the front lines they were in constant fear of bombings at night and for the workers that had to deal with explosive they had to be very careful not to drop any of the explosives or they will blowup.
