The war in Europe ended.\n\nResults of the Second World War for the U K.\n\n heighten of the general crisis of the world capitalist formation , which occurred during the Second World War , led to the weakening of the frugal and policy-making puzzle of British capitalist economy . England to war cost exceeded 25 million pounds. England casualties totaled 244,723 men killed , wounded or 53039 277990 missing. English merchandiser fleet tonnage for 1939 - 1945 g diminish from 22.1 million haemorrhoid to 15.9 million tons. If the pre-war years England has sure from piloting net income in excess of £ one C million , in 1946 it amounted to only 29 million pounds.
