WORLD WAR II:HOW DID IT START?

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.

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!!!

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.
