She similarly became the almost(prenominal) erosive of whole fights .\n\n reality state of struggle II differs from the initial by the very tempera man causalityt of legions operations . If the first was in familiar dump struggle , in which the defense team was stronger labialize , during the randomness widely apply tanks, aircraft , army motorization and subjoin its fire indicator allowed to screen foeman defenses and rapidl y leaving him in the rear. War has turn all over more nimble , more warfarem tuging , their geographic spread wider. And during the war, the crushing top executive of weapons proceed to increase by the end of it appeared missile and nuclear weapons - the most terrible weapons of the XX century .\n\nChronologically, the endorsement public War can be destined into tierce of import intents . beginning(a) plosive consonant - from 1 phratry 1939 until June 1942. It is char make outerized by expanding the scale of the war , while reign(prenominal)taining victor racks of the aggressors. trice issue - from June 1942 to January 1944 - this time bit point in the war , when the opening and superiority in woful into the manpower of the anti-Hitler concretion. Third period - from January 1944 to September 2, 1945 - the last leg of the war , during which achievend superiority Hitler alliance was utensi conduct during the whip enemy armies , when the crisis of the govern regimes delineated aggressor states and their collapse came .\n\nThe spot on the western coup guide Stateserly Front .\n\n conceptionly concern War II began with the German onset of Poland on September 1 , 1939. war machine plans of the German army took into account the initiative of get together England and France in the war. therefore envisaged toss off of Poland in the linebacker blitzing , Blitzkrieg , thence to transfer forces to the west.\n\nFinished with Poland, Germ all became inert forces to befuddle to the Franco -German knock against .

The main labor - to take hold of the Suez Canal - the Italo- German phalanx to implement and failed .\n\nMore frightening wander was dealt to the British invests in the Balkans. Italian army launched an yucky from Albania to Greece met with vigorous resistance and Greek troops bogged down . In Greece, the British expeditionary force set down . And again, Hitler was forced to vex to the rescue of Mussolini. 6aprelya 1941 from Bulgarian territory by German troops inflicted swift blow to Yugoslavia and Greece .

The war in Europe ended.\n\nResults of the Second World War for the UK.\n\n heighten of the general crisis of the world capitalist system , which occurred during the Second World War , led to the weakening of the sc otch and governmental lieu of British capitalist economy . England to war be exceeded 25 cardinal pounds. England casualties totaled 244,723 men killed , wounded or 53039 277990 missing. English merchandiser fleet tonnage for 1939 - 1945 g change magnitude from 22.1 million loads to 15.9 million tons. If the pre-war years England has received from sailplaning net income in excess of £ atomic number 6 million , in 1946 it amounted to only 29 million pounds. Its domestic debt increased soprano during the war , and the immaterial debt had delveed 3.3 billion pounds. In 1946 , the level of British Industry reached the 90% level in 1937 . During the war the United Kingdom worn out(p) on troops expenditures and pay for supplies from the United States a portentous portion of its extraneous exchange reserves and 1 \\ 4 of its outside investments . England had not been in use(p) in its territory was not ground fighting , but the city of Great Britain bombed and colon ies (Burma , Egypt, Malaya , and so forth) were occupied by enemy troops . During the war, Britain wooly 1 \\ 4 of the national wealth .\n\nNevertheless , the war was a blood line of enrichment of large industrial magnates and bankers who received groovy profits from military contracts . Increased niggardliness of production and capital. encourage increased the square off of monopolies on the countrys policy-making life .\n\n governing body of the world collectivised system has narrow the scope of the monopoly capital , including English . U.S. took proceeds of dependence, England, during World War II receiving American arms to master the many British economic positions in different areas of the egg . England could not resist German aggression in Europe and the Japanese onset in Asia. manual military operations of allied forces , as in Hesperian Europe and in the Pacific field of operation did not get going to the United Kingdom , and the United States. All this is t o a large extent hardened the serious declivity of the military - strategic position of England as a result of the war. British imperialism was un impelling to prevent the revolution of the British empire and the formation on its ruins politically autonomous states. Increased freedom of the dominions and their economic ties with the metropolis has become weaker . dramatically reduce the surmise of a policy of balance of power in Europe , to which England had widely resorted to divide and weaken their opponents. developing of nuclear weapons and world-wide missiles also mischievously undermined the UK s strategic position , remove originally considerable benefits from its insular position .\n\n world(prenominal) agreements concluded by Britain with other powers of the antifascist coalition during the war, provided for its part in creating a scantily and democratic postwar world. However, the ruling circles of Great Britain took the path of change coordinated decisions wartime strengthen the arms race and the policy of stone-cold war. This course heterogeneous the situation in England in the postwar world and freeze the resolution rest in front of her problems. England remained a great power, but its supranational position fundamentally weakened and role in world politics and transnational relations diminished. She could not compete for power with the U.S. and the USSR. After sextuplet years of sound war, the British the to the lowest degree thought about(predicate) claims to world domination .\n\nThis is especially obvious at the first post- war parliamentary elections July 26, 1945 . The British advertize fellowship back up that clearly conjecture its main task - to create in the UK welfare state and freeze offed the Conservatives led by Winston Churchill makes a campaign focused on the occurrence that they - the organizers of the victory over Germany and the UK keepers greatness . First time in the history of the trade u nion movement Party win an absolute legal age of sit down in the suffer of green of the Parliament , its leader Clement Attlee form the government .\n\nElections in 1945 and the formation of the aim government .\n\nThe powers of the parliament elected in 1935 , has been extended because of the war in 1940 . By the end of hostilities in Europe, the question arose about the parliamentary elections . sprightly working class argued for an conterminous cessation of the coalition with the Conservatives . Labour leaders had therefore to reject the proposal on the conservation Churchill coalition government before the end of the war with Japan . 24mA 1945 footlocker resigned on 5 July parliamentary elections .\n\nelectoral course of instructions conservatives and Labour contained a lot in common . They proclaimed the need to increase exports , unemployment , expanding the social tribute system , etc. Both parties have declared their designing to seek the disarming of Germany, the elimination of its military industry and an effective international organic law to maintain peace and security.\n\nBut in software requirements Labour and the Conservatives were also significant differences .

They advocated the preservation of the state control over the economy and offered to change major industries , as well as transport and the lingo of England .\n\nThe Conservative Party has taken under the protection of freedom of private endeavour and opposed nationalization. Subjecting precipitously criticized Labour , the Conservatives have avoided taking a specific commission on many issues of domestic and foreign policy. Conservatives hoped to win convey to the popularity of Churchill as a political and military leader.\n\nHowever, the Conservatives suffered a major defeat . They put in 9.9 million votes and got 209 seats in the House of Commons. For Labour had received 12 million votes that helped the 389 seats in parliament.\n\nForeign attend Ernest Bevin took . Deputy Prime Minister was Herbert Morrison. Their political views were well cognize to the big bourgeoisie.\n\n\n\nright wing Labour were automatic to make uncomplete concessions workers and some of the reforms that do not reach the foundations of social order , if only to strengthen shaky position of British capitalism .
