Impact of the Second World War (UK)

Impact of the Second World War

1 in 5 people alive today lived through the Second World War. Although the war ended over 60 years ago, it lives on in people’s memories and family histories, in the UK’s rebuilt city centres and ‘new towns’, and in our education, social and health services. Through a mixture of personal stories, reminiscences and previously unseen archive images, objects and film footage, this award-winning online exhibition explores how the war changed the people and the landscape of the UK forever.

The First World War: online documents & analysis

Recommended by THF.

The National Archives | Exhibitions & Learning online

The sources for the First World War held by The National Archives and the Imperial War Museum offer richly varied insights into all aspects of The First World War. This exhibition draws on historical documents, film and sound available in Britain's National Archives and one of its leading museums. It starts from, but is not limited to, a British perspective on the war, and also aims to create a wider understanding of the global nature of the conflict and the profound consequences that resulted from it - consequences which, in areas such as the Balkans and Palestine, are still being felt today. The galleries also offer pointers to further research and reading.
