Evacuation was a key part of Britain winning WW2. It involved children being transported from major towns and cities to small towns and cities in the countryside. From the 1st to the 3rd of September children were evacuated for the first time this was called Operation Pied Pier 3 million children were expected to be moved but only 1.8 were moved. But why was Britain paying this much attention when they had a war to fight in? WW1 left Britain in a bad position.
You didn’t wait to see who it was; you just dove due to the Germans constant strafing of civilians. One story my Grandmother told me was about a
In 1940, the Nazis had set up ghettos in Germany and moved Jews into them as a means to isolate them and control them; they used the abandoned houses and businesses for the re-settling of ethnically German people. There was also a plan to remove the Jews to Madagascar presented by the French anti-Semites which was creatively called the Madagascar Plan; Hitler planned to move 4 million Jews during this plan. The plan failed because Britain’s Royal Navy disrupted the mass transport of Jews by sea to Madagascar. There was one more plan of deportation called Siberian Deportation or Enterferen by Hitler which meant “go into the distance”, which also failed. However, harsh conditions were endured during transportation, in the territories they were shipped to and in the ghettos.
IMPACT OF WORLD WAR II ON THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE BY: SARAH WINCHELL World War 2 began in 1939 when Germany declared war on Poland hours after the Germans faked an attack from Poland. This resulted in France and Britain, because they had a defensive pact with Poland at the time, declaring war on Germany. Japan wanting more land and resources, had begun taking over China. The U.S. didn’t want to aid the Japanese so they set up embargos cutting off Japanese exports. This would cripple the Japanese forces.
Third, wherever Germany in Eastern Europe, specialized units called Einsatzgruppen were created to murder Jews and political opponents in mass shootings. Finally, Jews and Romani were ordered to be live in overcrowded ghettos, there they were then transported by freight train to extermination camps. Extermination camps were camps that were built by Nazi Germany, during the World War II, that were designed to kill millions of people by gassing and extreme work under terrible living conditions. The Nazis were not alone in this effort. Parish churches and the Interior Ministry supported the genocide by presenting birth records showing who was Jewish; the Post Office delivered the deportation and denaturalization orders; the Finance Ministry took away Jewish property; German businesses fired Jewish workers and took away stock that belonged to the Jews.
The Blitz was also happening at the start of the war in Poland, Holland, Belgium and France. France had also already evacuated children to the countryside and other countries, because they knew that Hitler was going to attack them at some point and wanted to make sure all the French children and women were safe. After the Blitz came the phoney war. The phoney war was a period of time when nothing ‘war-like’ was happening. There was no bombs, no frontline fighting etc… The British people thought that the war would possibly end soon so they returned to their families and homes in the main cities.
Necessity of the bomb lies with the amount of people that would have been killed in a land invasion, although it was vastly exaggerated. If next generation were raised on the path the Japanese were taking, they would grow up to become monsters. it saved many American Soldiers lives by stopping a land invasion of Japan and prisoners of war were being abused. But the Atomic bomb used against Japan was not necessary to end the war considering the numbers of American lives saved was vastly exaggerated, They were sending their battleships and pilots out on suicide missions as they were desperate, there was a vengeance for pearl harbour and racism towards the Japanese people, many victims of the bomb were civilians that had nothing to do with the war, the only reason Japanese weren’t surrendering is because they didn’t want to give up there emperor to the “unconditional surrender” and to demonstrate their power over the world. The bombing of Hiroshima was necessary to end the war as it would save many lives as suggests in source A “should adopt a position that rather than throw to this bomb we should have sacrificed a million American and a quarter of a million British live”.
Urges Zuckerman to start a partisan attack that would a) reconnaissance (scouting out the region to locate Germans) and b) obtaining weapons. 2,000 Nazis came into the Ghetto to stop the resistance, and miraculously the Jewish fighters held out for four weeks. Germans lit and blew up many buildings. Some managed to escape threw sewers or stay hidden in the rubble and remain hidden in buildings, but more or less everyone was killed. Why has the Warsaw Ghetto become such a potent symbol of the Holocaust?
Many photographs and stories were not published until after the Blitz had ended. For example, an incident in Bethnal Green where hundreds were crushed as they fought their way into the underground to safety wasn‘t revealed until after the war. The Treachery Act was set up in 1940. This gave the government the right to imprison anyone who seemed likely to threaten the safety of the country. Therefore, anyone who did something that may demoralise people was imprisoned, as a depressed country was more likely to surrender.
There was a lot of trench warfare between the allies and the central powers. This machine quickly did that by driving out soldiers from the trenches. The British created the first and also following was the French. Germany although used tanks a lot in the Second World War didn’t use them in this war. During the war countries started using chemical warfare for results.
