Britain and World War II
Last updated at 21:42 12 August 2006Running Head: BRITAIN AND WORLD WAR IIBritain and World War II [Name of the writer][Name of the institution]Britain and World War II United Kingdom is a country in northwestern Europe. The English Channel separates the island of Great Britain from France. This narrow stretch of water helped shape the character and history of the British people. It helped protect the United Kingdom from invasion and gave the people a feeling of security.The British have shown themselves at their best—brave and united—in times of crisis. Their courage against German bombs and overwhelming odds during World War II () won the admiration of the world. By 1900, they had an empire that covered about a fourth of the world's land and included about a fourth of its people. The British spread their way of life throughout their empire. Then came the 1900's—and the shock of two crippling world wars. The British Empire began to break up as the United Kingdom's colonies sought independence. The United Kingdom faced one economic crisis after another. Today, the United Kingdom is still a leading industrial and trading nation. But it is no longer the world power it once was. A number of the United Kingdom's important cities grew rapidly in the 1700's and early 1800's, during the Industrial Revolution. But today, many of those cities—including London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, and Leeds—are in decline. They are faced with such problems as falling employment, rising crime, and poor housing. They are losing population as people move from the inner cities into the suburbs and beyond. Greater London's population, for example, peaked in 1939 and has been falling ever since. David Lloyd George, a Liberal, served as prime minister during the second half of the war. He helped write the Treaty of Versailles, which officially ended the war with Germany. The treaty set up the League of Nations, a forerunner of the United Nations, and gave the United Kingdom control over German colonies in Africa. The Treaty of Sevres, signed with the Ottoman Empire, gave the United Kingdom control over some of the Ottomans' possessions in the Middle East. (Christopher, p77)The war had a shattering effect on the United Kingdom. About 750,000 members of the British armed forces died. German submarines sank almost 8 million short tons (7 million metric tons) of British shipping. The war also created severe economic problems for the United Kingdom and shook its position as a world power. British industry thrived briefly after World War I, but the prosperous times ended in 1920. During the war, the United Kingdom's factories produced war goods, and the country lost some of its markets to competitors. Two of the United Kingdom's best customers before the war—Germany and Russia—could not afford its goods after the war. In addition, the United States and Japan had taken much of its export business. With the decline in foreign trade, a depression swept the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, the Irish question had become explosive. In 1919, Irish leaders declared Ireland independent. Bitter fighting followed between the Irish rebels and a special British police force called the Black and Tans. In 1921, southern Ireland agreed to become a British dominion. That is, it would be a self-governing member of the British Empire, while maintaining its allegiance to the Crown. The new dominion was called the Irish Free State. (John, 1986, p165)In January 1924, a new party, the Labor Party, came to power under James Ramsay MacDonald. The party represented socialist groups and trade unions. World War II, the name commonly given to the global conflict of . It was the greatest and most destructive war in history. Whereas military operations in World War I were conducted primarily on the European continent, World War II included gigantic struggles not only in Europe but in Asia, Africa, and the far-flung islands of the Pacific as well. More than 17 million members of the armed forces of the various belligerents perished during the conflict. Its conduct strained the economic capabilities of the major nations and left many countries on the edge of collapse.In March 1939, Germany seized the rest of Czechoslovakia. On September 1, Germany invaded Poland and World War II began. Two days later, the United Kingdom and France declared war on Germany. In April 1940, German troops invaded Denmark and Norway. Chamberlain resigned on May 10, and Churchill became prime minister. That same day, Germany attacked Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands and advanced toward France. Churchill told the British people he had nothing to offer but "blood, toil, tears, and sweat" to win "victory at all costs." Germany conquered France in June, and the United Kingdom stood alone against the Nazi war machine. (Keegan, 1984, p67)The United Kingdom prepared for invasion, and Churchill urged the British people to make this "their finest hour." He inspired them to heights of courage, unity, and sacrifice. Hundreds of German planes bombed the United Kingdom nightly. German submarines tried to cut the United Kingdom's lifeline by torpedoing ships bringing food and other supplies to the island country. Severe rationing limited each person's share of food, clothing, coal, and oil. The British refused to be beaten, and Hitler gave up his invasion plans.In June 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union. In December, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii, and the United States entered the war.The United Kingdom, the United States, the Soviet Union, and the other Allies finally defeated Germany and Japan in 1945. Near the end of the war, the United Kingdom helped establish the United Nations. (Sutel, 1994, p55)About 360,000 British servicemen, servicewomen, and civilians died in the war. German bombs had destroyed great sections of London and other cities. The war had shattered the United Kingdom's economy. The United States and the Soviet Union came out of the war as the world's most powerful nations. The Labor Party won a landslide victory in 1945. The party had campaigned on a socialistic program. Clement Attlee became prime minister, and the Labor Party stayed in power until 1951. During those six years, the United Kingdom became a welfare state. The nation's social security system was expanded to provide welfare for the people "from the cradle to the grave." The Labor government also nationalized key industries by putting them under public control. The nationalized industries included the Bank of England, the coalmines, the iron and steel industry, the railways, and the trucking industry. Although the Labor government struggled to restore the United Kingdom's economy, conditions improved little. Rationing and other wartime controls continued. The United Kingdom borrowed heavily from the United States. World War II sealed the fate of the British Empire, though the United Kingdom had begun loosening control over its empire earlier. In 1931, the United Kingdom granted independence within the empire to Australia, Canada, the Irish Free State, New Zealand, Newfoundland, and South Africa. The countries became the first members of the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of countries and dependencies (now called overseas territories) that succeeded the empire. (Ienaga, 1987, p90)After World War II, the peoples of Africa and Asia increased their demands for independence. The United Kingdom could no longer keep control of its colonies. In 1947, India and Pakistan became independent nations within the Commonwealth. In 1948, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) became an independent Commonwealth country. That same year, Burma (now Myanmar) achieved independence—and left the Commonwealth. In 1949, the Irish Free State declared itself the independent Republic of Ireland and also left the Commonwealth. That same year, Newfoundland became a province of Canada. South Africa was not a member of the Commonwealth from 1961 to 1994 because the United Kingdom had criticized its racial policies. Blacks made up a majority of the population in South Africa, but whites controlled the government. Also, the South African government had an official policy of racial segregation called apartheid. South Africa rejoined the Commonwealth when it ended its apartheid and gave blacks greater voice in the government. Since the early 1950's, many more British possessions have become independent nations. They include Brunei, Cyprus, Ghana, Kenya, Malaysia, Malta, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Sudan, Trinidad and Tobago, and Uganda. In 1965, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) declared its independence from the United Kingdom. There, as in South Africa, whites controlled the government even though blacks made up a majority of the population. The United Kingdom had refused to grant Rhodesia independence until blacks were given a greater voice in the government. In 1980, after a long struggle for more power, blacks gained control of the government, and the United Kingdom recognized Rhodesia's independence. Rhodesia's name was changed to Zimbabwe. Generally, the British Empire was disbanded in an orderly way. Most independent countries stayed in the Commonwealth. In the 1950's, the United Kingdom refused to join the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom). Most important, it did not join the European Economic Community (EEC). This association, sometimes called the European Common Market, was set up by France and five other nations. After the EEC showed signs of succeeding, the United Kingdom set up the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) with six other nations. But EFTA was only a mild success, and the United Kingdom later regretted its refusal to join the EEC. In the years after World War II, the United Kingdom's foreign policy was closely allied with that of the United States. The United Kingdom joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)—a defense alliance of European and North American nations—and fought in the Korean War (). In July 1956, Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal, which was owned mainly by the British and French. In October, Israel invaded Egypt, its enemy. The United Kingdom and France then attacked Egypt in an attempt to retake the canal. The attempt did not succeed. Pressure from the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Nations forced the United Kingdom, France, and Israel to withdraw from Egypt. Economic recovery—and collapse: A Conservative government had returned to power in 1951 under Winston Churchill. The Conservatives accepted most of the changes the Labor Party had made. By 1955, rationing and most other wartime controls had ended. Industry was thriving, jobs were plentiful, and wages were good. Churchill retired in 1955, and Sir Anthony Eden succeeded him as prime minister. Eden resigned in 1957. He had been greatly criticized for his decision that the United Kingdom should join France in trying to seize the Suez Canal in 1956. Harold Macmillan succeeded Eden. The British economy continued to expand until the early 1960's. Hoping to improve the economy, the United Kingdom applied for membership in the European Economic Community. By joining the EEC, Macmillan hoped the United Kingdom would be able to expand its export trade. But in January 1963, the United Kingdom's application was rejected, largely because of opposition from French President Charles de Gaulle. The rejection was a defeat for Macmillan. That year, the government was shaken by a scandal involving the secretary for war. The 1964 election brought the Labor Party back to power under Harold Wilson. Wilson faced mounting economic problems. The United Kingdom was importing far more goods than it was exporting, and its industrial growth rate was too slow. The United Kingdom's financial reserves shrank, and the nation had to borrow more and more money from other countries and international agencies. In 1966, the government began an austerity program by raising taxes and putting a ceiling on wages and prices. The EEC, the European Coal and Steel Community, and Euratom merged their executive agencies in 1967 and became known as the European Community (EC). That year, the United Kingdom was again rejected for membership in the EC. The government devalued the pound in response to the serious economic situation. In the 1970 elections, the Conservative Party regained control of the government. Edward Heath became prime minister. In 1971, agreement was reached on terms for the United Kingdom's entry into the EC. The United Kingdom joined the EC in 1973. But continuing inflation, fuel shortages, strikes, and other matters caused serious problems for the government. Elections in 1974 brought the Labor Party back to power, and Harold Wilson again became prime minister. Wilson retired in 1976. James Callaghan succeeded him as prime minister and Labor Party leader. Long-standing conflicts between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland became a serious problem for the United Kingdom during the late 1960's and the 1970's. In 1969, the United Kingdom began sending troops to Northern Ireland to try to stop riots there. But the violence continued. The unstable situation caused a series of political crises in Northern Ireland during the 1970's. The United Kingdom established direct rule over the country, while attempts were made to form a stable government in which Catholics and Protestants shared power. Many people in Scotland and some in Wales demanded complete independence from the United Kingdom. Many others believed Scotland and Wales should have their own legislatures. Still others favored no changes in the relations between Scotland and Wales and the rest of the United Kingdom. In 1979, the British government allowed the people of Scotland and Wales to vote on the question of whether they should have their own legislatures. The voters in both areas failed to approve the establishment of the legislatures.However the World War II alliance forged by Britain and the United States was one of the closest working relationships of the twentieth century, reflecting common interests and special ties of history and culture. This "special relationship" was cemented in the close personal bond between President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill that grew from their frequent meetings and almost daily written correspondence. But these ties did not prevent genuine differences on matters of grand strategy, military operations, economic warfare, and political issues.World War II was part of European civil war that began in 1914 at the start of WW I. This is partly true, the question posed was, and would Britain be able or willing to maintain her vast empire in the face of German hegemony on the continent of Europe. From Germany’s point of view the war was not only dangerous but capable of ruining its every town and city and dismembering the nation. As for as people of the world were concerned, Germany had almost recovered from the losses suffered in WWI. The world could ill afford any more war, but the circumstances dictated the writing of the fate and despite resistance, by the people and world leaders, all was set for yet another encounter at global level. Although Germany was the major player in World War II, the seeds of war had already been planted in the Far East years before conflict in Europe. On September 18, 1931, the powerful Japanese military forces began an invasion of the region known as Manchuria, an area belonging to mainland China. This action broke non-aggression treaties that had been signed earlier. Germany’s invasion of Poland in late 1939 is considered the major event that set World War II in motion. But, like many other events in history, there is more to the story. Dozens of smaller occurrences pushed the world closer and closer to the brink of war over a period of many years. The results of each of these incidents culminated in total warfare that turned half of the world into a battleground. Several major countries were plunged into chaos and disorder, and the scars and horrible memories of the nightmare that was World War II are something that can never be erased or forgotten. ((Sandra, 1984, p101)Critics of removal and internment highlighted contradictions in the Allies' ideological crusade against the Axis, even comparing American racist actions with the racist Nazi attitude toward German Jews. Victory in World War II would be flawed at best if the United States did not treat non-whites as equal allies in the fight against fascism at home and abroad. Some critics also pointed to American anti-Asian racism as one cause of the tensions between the United States and Japan that led to war.Historians have considered the impact of World War II on destabilizing American racial ideologies, especially regarding African Americans and Chinese Americans. Attention should likewise be placed on the beginnings of such efforts by and on behalf of Japanese Americans, which occurred even as the racist treatment of this group reached its height. (Dower) Historians should also pay greater attention to American missionaries who worked in Japan, whose work has been overshadowed by studies of missionaries in China. Though unsuccessful, their efforts to warn U.S. policymakers of the negative impact on U.S.-Japan relations of discrimination against Japanese immigrants reminds us both of the connection between ethnicity and diplomacy, and of the need for diplomatic historians to consider the perspectives and actions of those outside the traditional institutions of policy formation. More importantly, it affirms the developing trend to examine how the experience of living in other societies led some missionaries to recognize deep flaws in their own society, especially racism and a parochial conception of religion.

Well we're now 100% released on Steam and the team has done a pretty solid job at improving stability of the Campaign server. We're keeping a watchful eye on the feedback coming from new Steam users and how we can improve their onboarding experience to WWII Online. Today we're going to cover a bit of Production and things happening in the pipeline now that we've crested this major milestone of getting the game onto Steam. This includes us improving some legacy art, and today we'll unveil the new iconic 88mm model that is inbound to the game shortly.NEW 88MM MODEL INBOUNDOne of the oldest models we have in game at this stage is a real eye sore. A major thanks to SADGUY for focusing his energy on getting this iconic weapon to look tremendously better and brought into the modern era.VEHICLE CREW MEMBER UPDATESAs you can witness with the 88mm crew members from the BEFORE & AFTER fixes the crew members are being updated. We are currently experimenting with bringing those crewmen up a notch even further using the latest character models we have. An investigation and test phase is underway to see how we can achieve that while maintaining performance for clients. It may seem like not a big deal but remember all of the things you're currently rendering, those large scale challenges are still relevant.Meanwhile some really old crew members are being updated and are in the can for deployment, which include:251 Armored Carrier (Driver & Gunner)Opel DriverMorris DriverLaffly DriverBedford DriverWhacky Laffly CrewBofors CrewWe've been cleaning up several old crew members and we're going to continue to do so. This will include creating some new character art, particularly for pilots, naval crewman, tank commanders and everything in between. HIGH EXPLOSIVE (HE) & KINETIC ENERGY (KE) AUDIT(S)A quick mention and tip of the hat to Scotsman and HATCH for the insane amount of energy they're putting into getting you guys the most realistic / historically accurate data for how weapons should be performing. Most of the data work is completed here and we're pushing to get this going and out for QA testing as quickly as we can. This will dramatically impact how bombs explode, including the type of fragmentation they throw and the affects it has on opposing vehicles. Kenetic Energy are non-explosive projectiles covering all round types, ranging from the Armored Piercing (AP) rounds from your tanks all the way down to the small arms weapons like rifles and hand guns.STEAM PROGRESS THUS FARWe've had more than 45,000 folks sign up for accounts in only 17 days on Steam.

Hey everyone, we are working as quickly as we can to make some improvements on the total amount of training newcomers are required to do and fix resolution issues being reported. We are taking in your feedback and translating that into actionable results to improve the on boarding experience for more users inbound to WWII Online.Our schedule is being pushed because of those things a little bit and we apologize for the delay, but recognize as we have that the wait will be worth it so you do not experience some issues the Steam early-birds did.Steam user feedback has been an important guide for us to make these improvements. We decided on a staggered roll out plan very intentionally and it is working precisely as we had planned.We know many of your are chomping at the bit to get into the game and we love seeing that enthusiasm. Since we have released in Early Access (very strategically) this should give you a sign that some fixes were bound to happen. As we have promised all along we'd be listening closely to that feedback and making improvements immediately upon landing here.Thank you so much for your patience. We will get you into the game as quickly as we can, but we want to make sure the issues that some of your fellow community members had, will not be your first experience with us.We will keep you posted on our release date(s) as quickly as we can, we are working very hard this entire weekend to get you into the game with a goal by next week.S! (Salute) from Cornered Rat HQ.

Good morning everyone.I wanted to come give you an update on the rollout status for today. As you know, we had scheduled the release of the game for Europe today.
Unfortunately we've made the decision to postpone the full release to Europe in order to address some of the resolution issues that we've seen since the start of our Steam availability. One of the biggest things that customers have been reporting and one of the things that has been the most has been the most frustrating to them is an inability to save changes to the game resolution.Our development team has identified the issue causing this and has been working on a solution. The suspected cause for this behavior is non-standard characters in the file path (such as accented characters, for example). In order to allow for us to fully test the patch to correct this issue, we have decided to hold of on releasing to the majority of Europe until later in the week. We will be opening up access to the UK and Ireland, as we feel that the potential for this problem to manifest itself in those areas is relatively lower than in the rest of Europe. We know that you all have been patiently watiting for the game to be available to you, and we appologize for making you wait a little longer. One of the reasons why we have been staggering the release is to be able to address issues such as this. We hope that you understand the reasoning behind this delay and we expect to be able to release in the rest of Europe later in the week.
We will keep you all updated as to when we expect this to occur. We do still expect to be fully released by September 22 as we originally stated.
