Britain in WW2

The First New Deal featured five key measures. One of which was the founding of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). This program was rather helpful, but not to women. The CCC put to work 2.5 million young men to work, generally disregarding women. Other federal agencies would put more preference on men than women. The First New Deal, in a way, set about putting women back into domestic services. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) set up camps specifically for young women that taught them household skills. Women did benefit however from the First New Deal, but in a different way than men. Women were employed by the FERA for relief projects, putting them to work producing canned goods, mattresses, and clothes for needy families. Women were also employed as housekeeping aids, maintaining the common stereotype of women as domestic servants. Women of minority groups were hit harder than white women. They found it more difficult to find any decent paying work. They were also generally excluded from the new laws passed to ensure worker safety. Men even started finding their way into traditionally women held jobs, such as teaching.

Come the Second New Deal, women were beginning to enter into the Federal government. Thanks to Roosevelt, Frances Perkins was elected to serve as the head of the Department of Labor. Perkins then hired on other females in the field. Although there were still no women working in the CCC, about 500,000 did find employment through the WPA. Despite this, they were still paid less than men. Of course, this was due to the NRA codes for industries that had a large number of female workers setting the minimum wages of women lower. Although Eleanor Roosevelt was a positive role model, the perception of women in the 1930s did not change much from the stereotypical housewife view.

It all happened when Nevil Chamberlain resigned so Winston Churchill then had the power to take over and he led Brittan to the end of the war after Nevil Chamberlain had already done half.while Winston Churchill was priminister and leader of the other half of ww2(world war two.) because Winston Churchill was priminister this means he was war with the leader of Germany and leader of the Nazi party this man was called Adolf Hitler.

thanks for ready folks :P :) XD ;D

On 1 September 1939 Germany invaded Poland, and two days later Britain and France declared war on Germany because they had a treaty with Poland in which they had undertaken to help Poland if its independence was threatened by force.

They wanted to stop Germany before it became too powerful. Poland was just an excuse, the British showed how little they cared about Poland in 1945. The Soviets also invaded Poland in 1939, and nobody declared war on them. (The previous month, August 1939, the Nazis and Soviets made several secret agreements. One of the was the partition of Poland between Germany and Russia.)

• They had the treaty to protect Poland, but when Germany invaded Poland they didn't do anything about it therefore backing out of their treaty with Poland. but that's when France went to Britain to ask if they could help the polish and Britain said yes. so that is why France and Britain declared war on Germany.

• These comments are very valid. European leadership(including the United States) did not want Germany to become a powerful nation following WWI. Politically and economically many countries were insecure about German unity built on the "Volk".

• While all of the above points are valid, another reason France and Great Britain went to war with Germany is because they had already gotten Germany to agree twice (Munich Agreement 1938) not to invade any more places, but Germany had broken both of these agreements, so this was the "third strike".

• Britain and France had never wanted to declare war on Germany, full stop. They didn't want to cause another world war one where both side would lose yet another generation of young men. So they tried to use diplomacy to retain peace in Europe. Hitler felt when he took power in 1933 that the Slavs and the east was the true enemy to the Germans and tried to get an alliance with Britain against communism as in his book "mein kaumf". But when they declined, Hitler invaded Poland on September 1st. Originally it was set for 21st August but was put back because of the weather. But on the 23rd, Britain, France and Poland signed a treaty that created an alliance between these counties. When the Germans invaded Poland, Britain gave Germany 48 hours to pull out or a state of war would exist between the two counties. So at 12.00 on 3rd September after no response to the ultimatum was heard Britain declared war followed by France at 15.45

• Britain was unable to do anything practical to help Poland. Britain had no direct access to Eastern Central Europe. At best Britain could have helped by proxy, for example if they, together with the French, had attacked Germany in the West. It has sometimes been pointed out that the declaration of war in 1939 was a moral gesture or some kind of grandstanding or possibly an attempt of some kind to "put right" the mistake of the previous year at Munich. The actual "casus belli" or grounds for war weren't well chosen. (In May 1939, Churchill and Lloyd George had expressed doubts about the guarantee to Poland when it came before Parliament. Churchill suggested that Britain had chosen the wrong ally, and that it would make better sense to try to negotiate a treaty with the Soviet Union).

The battle officially began on 13 August. Fighter losses were about even, but the Luftwaffe suffered from poor operational focus and shifting priorities. Unwilling to endure such heavy losses, Göring and adolf-hitlerswitched in early September to a campaign of city bombing, allowing Fighter Command to recover. On 17 September, Hitler cancelled SEALION, although air raids continued.

Tactically, the great error of Goering's was not attacking the coastal radar stations of Britain, which allowed the RAF to efficiently vector fighters to incoming German raids. This allowed the smaller RAF to concentrate its forces on specific German groups, achieving numerical superiority and thus inflict more damage on the Germans than would have been otherwise possible.

Similarly, Goering failed to make attacking the RAF's fighter airfields a priority. If even a substantial minority of them had been rendered inoperative, it would have effectively crippled the British attempts to defend themselves. The Germans would then have achieved a significant numerical superiority over Britain, enabling them to bomb with relatively few losses.
