World War 2 made people realise how bad poverty was. The Government was taking control of the country like never before. They introduced rationing, evacuation and also provided homes for those who had lost theirs in the bombings. They had never intervened this much before, and it was all because they wanted to win the war. Britains basically thought, if the Government can do all this during the war, why can't it carry on once the war is over? A report was writting by William Beveridge claiming there were "5 Giants" (problems) that the Government needs to solve in order to stop the poverty etc. This report was a best seller. The country loved it as it gave them hope for the future. These 5 Giants were; Want, Disease, Ignorance, Squalor and Idleness. The report said the Government needs to get involved like they did during the war and introduce schemes/laws to help solve the Giants. They introduced the laws also known as... The Welfare State. 2 of the Giants were tackled under Churchill. Then Labour won the 1945 General Election because they were in favour for the Beveridge Report and Churchill thought that Britain was "too poor" and shouldn't introduce the laws quite yet. So, the other 3 Giants were tackled under Clement Atlee (Labour)
