Now and then

When you first step out of your car and look around Chandler Way, you will see it as 3 different worlds: lower class, middle class and upper class.

Firstly let’s talk about the start of the road, where you can hardly walk 5 minutes without having this illicit smoke in the air which you have to breathe in. If you go there then you might get a first bad image of the road you are going into. You might see people with a blooded face on the floor. When you first step on to Chandler Way you will hear music blazing out the houses you first see. If you are lucky you might see either a drug dealer or a drug abuser smoking cannabis. Well there are some people at the start of Chandler Way that help the poor man who was on the floor with a blooded face. They are not all drug abusers or drug dealers, they are genuine people who sometimes help each other out but they just do not really start conversations with the other people on their ‘part of the world’.

Then we have the middle of the road, where you can see a massive change compare to the start of Chandler Way, no drug dealers or drug abusers, no people bursting other people’s ear drums with very loud and annoying people with other stupid noises also not as much smoke in the air. They are so much different to the people at the start of the road. 80% of them go to work and put food on the table for their families and are having a nice and hard-working lifestyle. The thing is that before they might have been like the people at the start of the road themselves. They did not spend the little bit of money they got on drugs they spent it on food for their families.

Then you go to the beauty of the road ‘the posh ones’ as the people at the start of the road like to call them. The people who have the cars that go 150 mph, the houses that have 5 floors, the gates that only open and close with a control. The people who live up there are the ones with the private houses, but they have earned it and when you get out of the car you could see that they were the ones who most probably worked the hardest from a very young age, they were the ones who have earned their money in a perfectly legal way. They are the ones with the heavy bags with legal items inside.

In the end they all look out for each other. When you first step out of the car it looked that way but now you can tell they are human, even if on side of the road are a lot of smoke and not enough oxygen and making money illegally and the other side are making millions legally. After a while living on Chandler Way you get to realize who the people on Chandler Way actually are. Like you will see from the start you will think that it was very weird something like you have never seen before but once you get to understand it is amazing. Like you can tell from you first step out  they are like 3 worlds put into one road.

During and After

3rd September 1939, Britain declare war on Germany. An announcement was made  that Britain have joined Australia, France, and New Zealand to declare war on Germany after Adolf Hitler invaded Poland. This was no joke, the very next day The Royal Navy went flying out to attack Germany’s navy. As this attack is going through The United States Of America announce they will not be joining Britain and co. in this life changing war. Around five days later Americas neighbours Canada have joined the war…..

4 months later 8th January 1940 the war is still going on and it keeps on getting worse. Britain start rationing which in this case is a fixed amount of food. 3 months after Britain start rationing Germany got stronger.. they invaded Denmark and Norway. This is showing Germany’s dominance in the war so far.. To make it worse for Britain and its allies Germany invaded France, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg. To make it worse Netherlands and Belgium had to surrender to Germany, to make them closer and closer to Britain.

Dunkirk, the battle of Dunkirk was a massive battle between Germany and Britain and Britain’s allies. The battle of Dunkirk was the defence and evacuation of British and allied forces in Europe from 26 May to 4 June 1940. The outcome of the battle of Dunkirk was 350,000 British, French and Belgian troops from Dunkirk which was a massive morale boosting win for them. This helped them massively in the war as they managed to get over a quarter of a million troops out of Dunkirk where most of them would have died.

August 1940 Adolf Hitler and his troops started air raids on London, straight after this Britain responded with an air raid of there own on Berlin. This started what people now call the “Blitz”. It was September 1940. London was the key target. The onslaught on other major cities in England including Cardiff, Liverpool and Manchester. The Blitz started as a plan to invade England. On the first of the Blitz 430 people got killed and 1600 were badly injured, and that was just the first day of it. After a few weeks Germany weren’t bombing just once a day it was in the morning and in the night. Hitler done this to push up the “fear factor”.

A year on and the bombs were still dropping down but just not as much,Germany started to drop bombs less frequently because Hitler turned his attention to Russia. The result of the Blitz was astonishing, Over 60,000 people were killed, over 87,000 were severely injured and over 2 million homes were destroyed. So even though Hitler didn’t manage to get England he crushed it into pieces. Which he would not care about.

USA declared war on the Axis power, so then Germany and Italy declared war on USA, while this was going on Britain gave up Hong Kong to Japan. USA were a powerful force with a lot of money, so Germany and especially Italy declaring war on USA was a bad idea by Adolf Hitler, the evil genius.

September 8 1943 Italy surrendered to their allies, they were looking strong but since they declared war on USA it all went downhill for them and their other allies. A month later in October allies entered Naples, Italy so Italy reacted by declaring war on Germany who they previously were allied with. Which shows that the evil genius Adolf Hitler wasn’t happy with Italy surrendering to allies.

Fast forward 2 years July 1945 Germany surrendered to the Red Army in Berlin. This was because couple months earlier the person that started it all Adolf Hitler commit suicide. Even though Germany gave up USA were still at it they dropped the very first atomic bomb in Hiroshima which killed a whooping 80,000 people. They weren’t finished there either as they dropped another atomic bomb on which killed 70,000. So it was a bad idea for Japan, Germany and Italy to even go close USA. After the two atomic bombs got dropped Japan officially surrendered at the end of WW2. September 2 1945 WW2 is officially over.

So after 6 years of fighting and shootings and bombings what did they gain out of it all. In the end WW2 had the most deaths compare to any other with over 50 million people dying. Also the man that started it all Adolf Hitler, what did he gain… nothing in the end he got scared that Britain will kill him so he took the cowards way out and killed himself. He in the end caused over 50 million people to die and in the end he didn’t even get what he wanted he just shot himself.

The aftermath of WW2 was incredible all shops and homes broken in a lot of countries even Germany who from the start weren’t even meant to be touched according to Hitler who thought he and they were invincible.
