Food rationing began in 1939 then ended in 1954
Rationing was a way of getting a fair amount of food in WW2 and was used as through the war when transporting food was dangerous!
Everyone had to have a ration book and per week to get their food supply and the deliverers have to stamp the book to show they had their amount of food for that week
Rationing was used in ww2 because the Nazis were sinking the ships that transported the food across the sea. so everyone had to have the same amount of food. so one person have loads and the others had none because that wouldn't be fair. That's why the government introduced rationing. =D =p d=p
I dont entirely know what they ate, but i do know that they had to put together all of their rationing coupons to afford all the food.
WW2 rationing ended in 1954, with the end of the meat ration.
1939 everyone in Britain was issued with a rationing book (in World War 2 )

Rationing in the United States ended in 1946 after WW2 came to a close. Meat, dairy, and other staple returned to the market. Rationing has never again been imposed on the American public.
The war meant that we couldn't safely import many products. With the limited amounts of produce available, rationing was the only way to make sure people didn't 'stockpile' items.
Yes, it was. WW2 affected all European countries... axis, allies, neutrals.
rationing in ww2 was very bad because the government lost a lot of money. It was also because the ships that were supplying Britain with food kept being hit by enemy torpedoes sent by the Germans. They though that if they cut off our food supply then we would be forced to surrender the war, but that did not happen. Instead the government introduced rationing so that we would not run out of food.
Yes. All countries involved in WW2 (and all occupied territories) had rationing and ration books. The only alternative to rationing by coupons would have been rationing by price. In most cases, this would have sent the prices of essentials sky high.
