Post-war

A post-war period or postwar period is the interval immediately following the end of a war. A post-war period can become an interwar period or interbellum, when a war between the same parties resumes at a later date (e.g. the period between World War I and World War II). By contrast, a post-war period marks the cessation of conflict entirely.

In Western usage, the post-war era or postwar era (sometimes capitalized) is the period of time since the end of World War II, although many nations involved in the Second World War have been involved in multiple wars later.

Year spans of the post-World War II era

The term "post-war" can have for different countries a time period of varying length that is based on some type of effect of the war in that country.

In some British usage, "post-war" refers to the period from the election of Clement Attlee in 1945 to that of Margaret Thatcher in 1979, a period of so-called postwar political consensus, while it may also refer to a shorter period, ending in 1960 or shortly after and corresponding to the 1950s era.

Post-War

Post-War is the fifth studio album by M. Ward. It was released on August 22, 2006 by Merge Records. It features the single "To Go Home", a cover of a song written by Daniel Johnston. Guest appearances were made by Jim James of My Morning Jacket (who produced the track "Magic Trick"), Neko Case and Mike Mogis. Ward has said that the song "Today's Undertaking" was heavily inspired by Roy Orbison's 1963 single "In Dreams."
