Large number of men were killed, women had started working during the
war and like the independence and so wanted more of this. Everyone was
grieving for no matter how small a town there had been great losses of
life. Some families had lost all their menfolk and now had to survive
without them in a world were married women were not welcomed in the
workforce. Men that did return from the war suffered injuries which
made them unable to work. They also suffered nightmare of the war which
changed their personalities making them bitter and angry with life.
Try living with that from the wife's point of view. Everything changed.
