Now the War Is Over
Britain, 1919–1920
Britain's Response to 1919 and 1920
How did Britain respond to the momentous events of 1919 and 1920 as it adjusted to peace after four years of war? What were the challenges the British people faced and how did they cope with the profound changes that confronted them? Now the War Is Over seeks to answer these questions. It looks at what happened in every sphere of life and it shows how, even today, we are still dealing with the consequences of those years of transition.
Challenges Faced by Britain
Across Europe there were revolutions, a war for independence occurred in Ireland, and on mainland Britain there were widespread race riots. However, most servicemen simply wanted to come home to their families and a secure job. Some hoped for a return to the certainties of a pre-war world, but this was impossible too much had happened.
Insights into Post-War Britain
As they explore the troubled state of Britain immediately after the war, Simon Fowler and Daniel Weinbren give us a fascinating insight into how the global conflict changed the direction of the nation.
