Investigating the Price of World War Two on the British Empire
(University of El-oued, 2021-07) Adaika, Derradji, Hania Maria ADAIKA Maria
Human history has known many and many struggles for power and dominance. One of the most crucial struggles over history is World War Two (1939-1945) that shaped the landmarks of our world today. Since the British Empire was the most dominant empire at that time, it is important to identify its role in the war. The study aims to identify the price the British Empire paid in this disastrous war. The study under investigation is a qualitative historical research. Our research depends on data taken from secondary sources, i.e. secondhand information taken from history books, web site articles, journal articles, and encyclopedias. The data is described and analysed using a descriptive method. Through the description of the historical events and the situations before, during and by the end of the war, the study investigates the pricy cost the British Empire paid in the war and the important role it played in promoting the Allies side. The war was so great that the empire recruited all of its colonies and countries of British Commonwealth of Nations, that were significantly involved in wartime. In addition, the war drained the empire’s economic and dominating power to become weaker despite the Allies victory in the war against the Axis. By the end of the war, the world’s greatest empire had begun to fall.
