What were the '5 Evils' at the end of World War Two?

Our History topic this half term, continues straight on from where we left off before the holiday. We have been looking at the state of Britain at the end of World War Two, and the children were surprised to realise that despite a great victory, Britain was broken. The children have been finding out about the new Labour Prime Minister after the war and the Beveridge report that identified the 5 'Evils' of society. It was a sobering thought to realise that war had cost Britain so much, despite being the victors.
