When was the demobilisation plan put in place?

• A. 18th June 1945
• B. 8th May 1945
• C. 1st January 1945
• D. 11th November 1944

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that after victory in Europe, governments needed a formal plan to wind soldiers out of the armed forces and back into civilian life. This demobilisation plan set out how many would be discharged, in what order, and what support they would receive (housing, jobs, training) to ease the transition from war to peacetime. The plan was put in place on 18 June 1945, a few weeks after VE Day when the fighting in Europe ended, signaling the shift from wartime to peacetime priorities. The other dates don’t mark the start of the official demobilisation framework.
