Post 1945
Britain Since 1945 1945年後的英國
Since 1945, Britain has transformed from a war-weary empire into a modern, multicultural democracy. Key developments include the welfare state, decolonization, and Britain's evolving relationship with Europe.
自1945年以來，英國由戰後疲憊嘅帝國轉變為現代多元文化民主國家。主要發展包括福利國家、非殖民化同英國與歐洲不斷演變嘅關係。
1945 के बाद से, ब्रिटेन एक युद्ध-थके साम्राज्य से एक आधुनिक, बहुसांस्कृतिक लोकतंत्र में बदल गया है। प्रमुख विकासों में कल्याणकारी राज्य, उपनिवेशवाद की समाप्ति और यूरोप के साथ ब्रिटेन का विकसित संबंध शामिल है।
Modern Britain
Labour wins election - Welfare State begins
NHS founded - free healthcare for all
UK joins EEC (European Economic Community)
Good Friday Agreement - peace in N. Ireland
The Welfare State
福利國家
After World War II, the Labour government created the modern welfare state based on the Beveridge Report. The National Health Service (NHS) was established in 1948, providing free healthcare to all UK residents at the point of use.
第二次世界大戰後，工黨政府根據貝弗里奇報告創建咗現代福利國家。國民健康服務（NHS）喺1948年成立，為所有英國居民提供使用時免費嘅醫療服務。
'1948 - NHS was great' - free healthcare founded in the year ending in 48.
'1948年——NHS真偉大'——以48結尾嘅年份建立免費醫療。
Migration and Multiculturalism
移民與多元文化
Post-war Britain needed workers. The Empire Windrush brought Caribbean migrants in 1948. Since then, immigration from former colonies and later from EU countries has made Britain a diverse, multicultural society.
戰後英國需要工人。帝國疾風號喺1948年帶嚟加勒比海移民。此後，嚟自前殖民地同後來嘅歐盟國家嘅移民使英國成為多元文化社會。
