The Collapse and Recovery of Europe

After the war all the soldiers were coming back home, and the government had decided to help them by creating "homes for heroes" which were housing programs. But because of the war the traditional ways had been broken, women's gained the right to vote, and women were expressing more sexuality. At that time women's felt more free after men had left to war, so when men came back women's did not want to go back to what they were before. I think that they wanted to gain more respect and have more rights. The Great Depression in 1929 was a huge loss for everyone even the rich people. For the rich it meant contracting stock prices that wiped out paper fortunes almost overnight. The Great Depression also was the lost of work. Then the second world war was the most destructive conflict in world history , with many deaths around 60 millions. The new technologies of warfare, heavy bombers, jet fighters, missiles, and atomic bomb were the most responsible for all the casualties. Because of the war it drew women into both industry and the military.
