For several reasons. First, because western European populations were still traumatized by the brutality shown by German troops invading in 1914, WWI, and maybethought WWII would repeat WWI. But most generally, in Great Britain, like in France, major cities were regularly under fire by artillery and or air bombardments. Children were thus evacuated to the countryside more secure or even in other countries already occupied and generally peaceful. My own parents in southern Belgium were caring for 4 french children temporarily evacuated from the French City of Metz. London was under daily fire by V1 and V2 German rocket bombs. And finally, destructions were huge and finding shelters and food became a massive daily problem.
Bombing attacks were expected to fall on factories in the cities, but they would not just fall on the factories, but in other areas of the city, such as schools and homes. This would put children in danger, so they were evacuated to the countryside, or in extreme circumstances, the USA, Canada, or Australia.
(They were evacuated to prevent them from getting killed during the Blitz in the city. The country was the safest option for them to evacuate and so they did.)
No-one knew what the effects of bombing cities would be, the only recent instances were in the Spanish Civil War where the bombing was virtually unopposed.
A lot of children in Britain were evacuated into the countryside and some as far as Canada because it was thought to be safer for them.
This was reversed for many after it was realised that the cities would not be razed to the ground.
Children where evacuated because of the bombing that was frequently happening in That area. There were many Ariel bombings whether it be lethal gases or explosives. people feared for their kids.
they were evacuated from the cities to the countrysides so they wern't bombed by the German airforces.
To keep the soldiers fighting
because there were bombings from the Germans in England so to keep children safe their parents sent them away.
Evacuation of children and other vulnerable people started on 3 September 1939 because immediate bombing of cities was expected.
During the Battle of Britain, British cities were getting bombed daily. In response to this, civilians in urban environments such as Manchester sent their children to the countryside for safety.
Children from British cities were sent to the countryside during World War II to keep them safe from anticipated bombing.
Limiting westward settlement provided several advantages for Britain. It allowed the British government to avoid conflict with the Native Americans. Also, keeping colonists near the East Coast ensured a market for British goods in the coastal cities, where trade flourished.
Most British cities were bombed during World War 2
To keep them safe from German bombing or chemical attack.
They evacuated the children so they wouldn't get bombed during the war.
The Battle Britain - 1940 - All major cities were declared open cities by the NAZIS for bombing during this period.
Children were evacuated for their safety from cities under attack or would possibly be attacked .
save meeeeeeeeeee helpppppppppp It was basically the evacuation of British cities at the start of the second World War.
Evacuation of children and other vulnerable people started on 3 September 1939 because immediate bombing of cities was expected.
The British government encouraged the parents to temporarily send their children out of the major cities in the early years of WW2. It was feared that the cities would be heavily attacked by Germany with bombs & chemical weapons.
If you mean in WW2 In England Hitler was dropping V2 bombs on the citizens and cities. These were bombs that when they ran out of gas just fell on whatever was below them. They got the kids out to save them.
If they lived in cities, or (close to) military targets they'd evacuate to avoid getting bombed.
Building cities in a new land for your government is called colonizing. When the British landed in America, the new towns they developed were colonies.
Yes. Children who were considered to be in danger from expected bombing, were evacuated from towns and cities to the comparative safety of the countryside.
