WORLD WAR II:
HOW DID IT START?
3. Why were children evacuated?
People expected cities to be
bombed, as enemy planes tried
to destroy factories. But bombs
would hit homes and schools too,
so children would be in danger.
The government tried at the
start of the war to 'empty the
cities' of children and mothers,
This was 'evacuation', to protect
them from air raids.
The plan was put into action in
September 1939. About 800,000
children left their homes.
However, many returned home
after a few weeks. Others stayed
in the countryside for the rest of
the war.
Evacuees .
Evacuees were children
who were sent away to
the country side. The
children were sent to the
country side so they wouldn’t be
bombed. Every child would be sent
to total strangers house until the war
was over.
CHILDREN IN THE WAR.
4. Many children in the 1940s lived in
small houses or flats. In towns, many
people lived in small terraced
houses. There were blocks of flats
too, though not as tall as the 'tower
blocks' built after the war. A typical
family house had a sitting room and
kitchen, with two or three bedrooms
upstairs. Not all houses had
bathrooms or indoor toilets.
Many houses had windows stuck over
with paper tape. In an air raid, the
blast-force of a bomb exploding could
shatter windows along a street. Tape
across the windows stopped the
glass shattering into thousands of
pieces, and causing injuries.
THE BLACK OUT!!!
5. Christmas in WW2 was
very hard in many
different ways. People in
WW2
Found it very hard to find
food for Christmas
because when the English
boats tried to come and
deliver food the German
submarines explode them
so the English would
starve and die.
