Charles Wheeler continues his journey analysing how Britain and the world made the transition from Second World War to peace.

1945's General Election ushered in a Government promising a brighter, happier, more stable future.

But as the War ended in the Far East, exhausted men and women returned home to face domestic peril

They were entering a new period of austerity: rationing of food, clothing and fuel; one of the worst winters on record and an energy crisis making life for some as hard as it had been during the War itself.
