To try and demoralize the civilian population.
During the Blitz, civilians in the UK sought shelter primarily in underground stations, public shelters, and private basements to protect themselves from German bombing raids. Many people also constructed makeshift shelters in their backyards, such as the Anderson shelters, which were made of corrugated steel and designed to withstand bomb blasts. The government encouraged the use of these shelters to minimize casualties during the air raids.
They did more than consider it. The US dropped almost 1.5 million tons of explosives on German war targets.
No. Drop bombs where largely used by both sides at the front during WWI. The first actual bombings of cities to demoralize civilians and in general the enemy occurred in Abyssinia by the Italians but particularly during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) by both Germans and Italians, followed immediately by WWII.
On September 25th, 1939, Germany terror bombed the city of Warsaw, Poland. Historically, this was the first 'blitz' air raid upon a civilian population, with an estimated 1150 bombing sorties made by the Luftwaffe, dropping approx 500 tons of explosives and 72 tons of incendiaries in the Warsaw Blitz. So, in answer to your question, Germany started the Blitz.
The Germans caused it because if the Germans got a hold of Newfoundland a province in the Atlantic they could then bomb America and take over America
The Germans hoped to bomb Britain into suing for peace .
Great Britain definitely had bomb shelters for not only the general populace but also the government during the Blitz.
The blitz generally didnt have a big impact. The Germans wanted to bomb England and they did, but they wanted us to back down, but we never did. They also wanted us to stop having food coming from other countries. We did still manage to get food and in the end make the Germans back down.
During the blitz the first lot of bombs were dropped in London in 1940... They had to turn all the lights off in the city so the Nazis did not know where to bomb.

He would either seek refuge in the War Rooms, or stay in Downing Street, which had, I believe, a bomb shelter in the basement during the war. :)
Hundreds of thousands of Londoners used the bomb shelters and survived the Blitz.
