In World War II, women were treated much differently to men and had a complete different role from men in most of the World War II. At the start of World War II, women would normally sit at home and look after the crops and the farm. Later on in World War II, though, women were then assigned minor tasks in World War II such as being a factory worker because after a while, the government noticed that it would not be possible to keep the war, factories and other industries running. Women then got different jobs such as driving buses, operating anti-aircraft guns, raising barrage balloons, driving ambulances, or delivering aircraft from factories to frontline squadrons.

The Blitz Bombing This was a very drmatic time from day raids to night raids, read on! In 1940 until 1941, a new thing called bombing was introduced as well as the war economy and other things regarding the economy. Mainly the Germans attacked Britain by bombing them at random times normally in the night. This began because of Adolf Hitler and this was reported in London, Britain. This bombing was called The Blitz. Price of World War II World War Two had costed around 1,600,000,000,000 US dollars in total for all the countries which ruined the economy of some countries since it's a great deal of money. The war affected the wealth of people because most of the country's economy ended up going down due to the huge amount of money, they had to pay for World War Two. Great Britain borrowed money from its colonies to pay for the war and was in enormous debt – as a result it stopped being a large power after the war and its empire slowly disappeared until 1968. Night raids The people that were at home were affected massively since a lot of homes were destroyed by bombing and nobody knew when the bombs would launch since some of them were launched at night which was called ‘Night Raids’ which was never expected. There was also something called ‘Bomb Threats’ when a siren goes off in order to announce the beginning of the raid. But the end of the raid wasn’t announced. Why did air raids start? Hitler started the raid with the intention to break the British morale wishing that the British would give in. Instead of breaking the morale of the British, it made them face-to-face an extremely common enemy. This also made the people determined to hold out against the German attack. Back in England, some people would usually sleep on the underground station so if the bombing started, they would be nice and safe from the bombs. Since the air raids continued, most if not all large countries set up public air raid shelters. It was nearly impossible to tell if the bombs have already exploded or not so it was pretty dangerous for everyone. It was pretty hard for everyone in the Blitz in World War II. London was the first main target. For 57 consecutive nights, bombs rained down on the capital city. Then other major cities became a target too, such as Coventry, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool. This intense wave of bombing became known as the Blitz.	The British Propaganda!
