Resumen del Recurso
How civilians were affected during the war (1)
VOLUNTARY RECRUITMENT
Britain had a small army so soldiers were needed
Government encouraged men to join the war
Propaganda caused young men to want to join
2 million joined up by 1916 so this was highly successful
CONSCRIPTION
Number of volunteers dropped in 1915 because more men were needed to replace the dead and injured but people realised how dangerous it really was.
Was seen as unfair if healthy men didn't participate
Due to this the government introduced conscription
This meant that any man between the age of 18 - 40 could be called into war at any time.
This led to an equal amount of men fighting each month
CONCHIES
These were men who opposed fighting in the war
To show they had a reason for not fighting they had to go to a tribunal
If they turned out to be cowards they would most likely be sent to prision
Others would help women in factories and at the home front.
FAMILY LIFE
No one at home knew when their loved ones would be back
Would be hard to continue a normal life when the men returned
DORA
Defence Of the Ream Act
Gave the government power to control peoples lives
The government could take any war factory, land our buildings it needed
Took mines, shipping and railways for war effort
THE MUNITIONS CRISIS
The ammunition was running low to supply the army with
This meant they had to start rationing on guns and bullets
David Lloyd George became Minister of Munitions
He did 2 things
Skilled workers
People were urged to stay in the jobs they were skilled in instead of changing to a better payed job
Women
They started to bring women into the forces. They argued that they would not work until they got equal pay to men.
Lloyd George ended up being successful
FEEDING THE COUNTRY
Used the land they took over for farming purposes
Women's land army was made in 1917
Britain had 6 weeks of wheat left
Rich people were taking more food because they could afford it which meant the poor were getting hardly any
This led to many things
Pay Rises
Voluntary rationing
Bread price Control
Recipes using less flour
South Wales had important industrial areas and started going on food strike
The transport to get food to the country were being bombed by German U Ships
In 1918 Compulsory Rationing was introduced
By the end of the war the health of the poor had improved massively
