London during World War II

During World War II, London was heavily affected by the conflict, enduring nightly bombings known as the Blitz from 1940 to 1941. These attacks aimed to weaken Britain’s war effort, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. Despite the devastation, Londoners showed resilience, continuing to work, rebuild, and support each other. The city’s historic landmarks, homes, and infrastructure suffered damage, but the collective spirit helped Britain prevail. The war significantly reshaped London socially, economically, and physically, leaving a lasting legacy on the city's development and its people's resilience.
