Great Britain by: Zack and Tara

Great Britain felt the territory should only be an area where any military equipment or soldiers are banned.
Great Britain didn’t want Germany to have any military in their land….

World War 2’s Effect
Britain was bombed many times and put into debt by other countries.
Mainly bombed by Germany
They had to live with the fact that they might be bombed at anytime.
Normal People were in a lot of fear.
They got used to it after a while because it was so often.
They just hoped and prayed that your home, school, and business was there when you came back. And they would get out, and just go on with their normal day.
