  • The men were killed in the fighting.
  • The women lost their men.
  • The Germans bombed their nation.
  • They had to sacrifice so much; food, clothing, cars, fuel, people, and a decent way of life for a long time.
  • They had to build war things for many years.
  • They had to borrow millions of dollars from the US to wage war. They paid it all back.
  • They were unable to completely do the task of defeating the Germans without help because their island was too small to produce enough armament and other military things and to have enough troops. They needed allies. They got them.
  • The economy was severely affected and supply too. They had to stay on rationing for 15 years or more (before, during and after the war).
