Join Road Scholar on Monday, Nov. 17, 2025, at 1 p.m. (ET)/ 10 a.m. (PT), for a free one-hour lecture and Q&A to learn about British reactions to American troops in Britain during WWII.

During World War II, the arrival of over a million American servicemen in Britain sparked both cultural exchange and social tensions. Join historian Ruth Polling as she examines how the presence of GIs reshaped British communities, from friendships and alliances to moments of friction. This free lecture will explore the everyday encounters that revealed striking cultural differences — whether in attitudes toward dating, spending or social customs — and the challenges of two nations adjusting to life side by side in wartime.
