WHAT WAS THE RATIONING WORLD WAR II ?
Ration is a way of getting a fair amount of food in World War 2.
Also, was used as through the war transporting food was dangerous.
This is people during World War 2 in line for food.
WHY WAS RATIONING DONE?
Rationing was used to save a supply of something for example gas or electricity. Gas rationing has become a big debate.
The restrictions introduced by Dora failed. The government then tried to
introduce a voluntary code of rationing whereby people limited
themselves to what they should eat.
ITEMS THAT WERE RATIONED.
"Items such as imported meats, sugar, tea, coffee, tobacco, chocolate and fruit
which arrived by merchant ship. Would become scarce if the Germans initiated another submarine blockade,
which they did. Were to be divided equally between all
adults and children.
ITEMS THAT WERE RATIONED.
Imported non-food items such as textiles, soap and petrol were rationed, too. You
were entitled to buy basic foodstuffs to a weekly limit, whilst price controls.
Covering everything from wages and rents to food, tobacco and clothing, also came
into force. The degree of restriction over an
individual’s freedom seems incredible to us today, the more so as each family has to
register at a shop where these items could be purchased and could not shop
elsewhere.
FAST FACTS!!! It can be argued, for example, that the Bangladesh
famine of 1974, which was precipitated by the effects of widespread flooding. Would have been
less severe if the state’s food-rationing system had not been in place.
The rationing system was flawed because it
provided subsidized rationed food to only the country’s urban population. In 1974, despite
higher-than-usual rice.
To make the British weak, the Germans tried to cut off supplies of food and other goods. German submarines attacked many of the ships that
brought food to Britain.
This are some items that were rationed!
