How did second war was affect England ??
Answers
Explanation:
The war was a marker for the emergence of the United States as the world's premier superpower, with the Soviet Union coming up as a distant second.
Britain certainly won the war. The war in many ways changed Britain forever. She realized what the rhetoric of race superiority was logically leading to, and she culturally walked off that path. Given her precarious economic condition, she began to be fully aware of the costs of empire, and the began the process of giving self-government leading to independance for her colonies. Her priority, as expressed by the voted-in will of her people, was now on improving the quality of life at home.
From a general angle, the Second World War affected Britain in many ways. It was a success to some extent. Britain was on the winning side. During the 1940-1941 period, she fought alone against the Nazis, managed to avoid surrender and enforced national unity and pride. Britain ended the war on the winning side and had established a 'special relationship' with the USA. Britain had great prestige and took an important role in the formation of the new United Nations. However, Britain was also very damaged by the war. The country's infrastructure was very badly damaged as a result of bombing. The war was very expensive and Britain had to make important loans to maintain the economy. Reconstruction was going to be long, difficult and expensive. Because of this damage, Britain was less able to continue as a world power, this meant colonial independence movements gained momentum. The Second World War intensified the process of de-colonization. It might be true to say that the general economic and military impact of the war left Britain in the same situation as a defeated nation but with the illusions of victory.
