4.9/5 (28404 ratings)

Description:For the victims of pre-war economic change, war would come as a God-send, the solution to unemployment and distress. Men joined the new armies for a variety of reasons: political, social and personal. But, for many, the motive would be less lofty, the chance to start afresh and fill their empty bellies. The lane and highways of Hampshire would be suddenly cleared of casualties of progress, and unemployment, for a while, became a thing of the past. But adverse effects would soon be felt. Field were forsaken, workshops deserted and trade disrupted. A shortage of horses made ploughing impossible. Soon the bitter cry of widowed women and fatherless children would ring through the country's hamlets - and the lanes would be thronged by a new batch of paupers and the wounded men of other counties' battles. Yet life would not be permanently altered by the struggle. Memories of civil war would eventually fade and become interred beneath a new crop of spring sown corn. War, despite the upsets of the time, was to be little more than a hiccup on a landscape of solid resilience.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
