U.K. During the Interwar Period

The British government had a great deal of difficulty in adjusting to its politics.

David Lloyd George continued to run the government as he had during the war.

As Lloyd returned

from the Paris Peace

Conference, things didn't

seem so peaceful.

Right after WWI

workers in industries

began to strike, demanding

a better salary, finer working

conditions, and less working

hours. The war had ended and

they shouldn't have kept

being up and running like

before.

Factories owned by the government were sold off, and soon practically no businesses remained in government hands.

The Industries that were

more affected were...

Cotton

Steel

Iron

Coal

During 1927, there were

transitional payments for the unemployed

The depression in the early 1930s tore the British Parliament apart, as well as the entire nation.

Unemployment benefits were cut in 1931, and adjusted again in 1934.
