Attlee Government
The Attlee Government, led by Prime Minister Clement Attlee from 1945 to 1951, was a pivotal period in UK history. It focused on rebuilding post-war Britain through widespread social reforms, including establishing the NationalHealth Service (NHS) to provide healthcare for all, and nationalizing key industries like coal, steel, and railways to promote public ownership. The government also expanded social security, education, and housing, aiming to create a fairer society. These policies laid the foundation for the modern welfare state, reflecting a commitment to social justice and economic recovery after the hardships of war.
