David Lloyd George
History of the United Kingdom during the First World War
På tærsklen til krigen var der alvorlig indenlandsk uro i Storbritannien (blandt arbejderbevægelsen og stemmerettighedsbevægelsen og især i Irland), men en stor del af befolkningen samledes hurtigt bag regeringen. Der blev ydet betydelige ofre for at besejre imperiets fjender, og mange af dem, der ikke kunne kæmpe, bidrog til filantropiske og humanitære formål. Af frygt for fødevaremangel og mangel på arbejdskraft vedtog regeringen lovgivning såsom Defence of the Realm Act 1914, som gav den nye beføjelser. Under krigen gik man under premierminister H. H. Asquith væk fra idéen om "business as usual" og hen imod en tilstand af total krig (fuldstændig statslig indgriben i offentlige anliggender) under premierminister David Lloyd George; det var første gang, at dette var set i Storbritannien. Under krigen fandt også de første luftbombardementer af byer sted i Storbritannien.
David Lloyd George
History of the United Kingdom during the First World War
On the eve of war, there was serious domestic unrest in the UK (amongst the labour and suffrage movements and especially in Ireland) but much of the population rapidly rallied behind the government. Significant sacrifices were made in the name of defeating the Empire's enemies and many of those who could not fight contributed to philanthropic and humanitarian causes. Fearing food shortages and labour shortfalls, the government passed legislation such as the Defence of the Realm Act 1914, to give it new powers. The war saw a move away from the idea of "business as usual" under Prime Minister H. H. Asquith, and towards a state of total war (complete state intervention in public affairs) under the premiership of David Lloyd George; the first time this had been seen in Britain. The war also witnessed the first aerial bombardments of cities in Britain.
