Nagy-Britannia 1945-ben
Great Britain in 1945

Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the immediate post- WWII British history, especially the effects of war, the general election of 1945, home policy events and imperial foreign political aspects. Direct effects of the war were controversial in Britain in a sense that as a winner country her economic, political and military issues were subordinated to U.S. interests. The general election of 1945 was won by the Labour Party because the majority of voters expected them to introduce the long delayed welfare state administration. The Labour government has appeared as nationalist and imperialist, and due to economic and financial considerations they did not urge the dissolution of the Empire. London’s interests were more and more subordinated to Washington’s policy in the forthcoming framework of the Cold War, so she could not do anything to stop the process of East European sovietization, and it became a necessity to accept the policy of Western European integration.
