The
Second World War was for the Brits a very important turning point. A
cornerstone in how the public and its elite perceived the future of the
British Isles as a country and political regime. WW2 was the moment of
utmost importance which brought people belonging to all classes – the
home front – together. They had a common purpose and that was to support
their fellow countrymen who were on the front defending them and their
liberal beliefs. Yet, this maybe simple act of supporting the army and
the extraordinary one of being seemingly unaffected by the
Nazi-unleashed Blitz had long term effects. Everybody knew that when the
war ended, nothing was going to be the same. Politically as well as
socially.
During the war, the Brits lived with the
everyday fear of experiencing a violent death at every single moment. In
turn, this caused the authorities to demand that all the house and
street lights be turned off at night. In November 1939, a poll of the
1937-founded organization Mass Observation found that the so called
blackout was the single most hated inconvenient of war.
