Describe the effects of the Blitz on every day life in Britain
The Blitz had significant impacts on every day lives of Britain in many ways, both directly and indirectly.
Firstly, the Blitz had caused physical damage in the cities of Britain. The air-raid bombings had caused significant damage and destruction on major cities such as London and Bristol, in an attempt to cause high number of death casualties. By early 1941, approximately 1000 people were killed from the air-raid assaults in Bristol alone. Industrial areas were also bombed, such as Coventry, in an attempt to slow down their production of war machinery. This had a great impact on every day lives in Britain, as there were lack of war equipment that was produced, and thus more workers were needed to work in order to fulfill the requirements. Rationing became more serious than before, and more women had to work in factories in order to replace the killed or wounded workers from the air raids in major cities.
