Germany started a U-boat blockade of Britain and declared 'unrestricted submarine warfare' in 1915. This led to shortages of food and rationing had to be introduced.
people in the cities demonstrated over food shortages
because ....... i think its because people where too involved with he war, that stuff wasn't being made as much and because in the UK we didn't exactly want to be bombed in places cos we had planes coming in with food and stuff we couldn't grow or make here. but I'm guessing so it might not be right..
Due to the switching the economies to a war footing, and the widespread disruption of trade, during the war, there resulted a serious shortages of normal goods and services. For example no civilian cars were built during the war in USA. Shortages of food and essential products resulted in everything from starvation to the development of wide range of artificial substitutes, that had never been seen before.Since there was insufficient food, medicine, oil and coal, these products were rationed. This resulted in government control of the economy. Many important products needed both money and ration stamps to bepurchased. Some products had to be bought illegally on the black market at a much higher price.
Sugar and coffee were from South American and the Caribbean. In addition to the hazards of shipping by sea, the military need great quantities of all three materials. Shortages from European sources being cut off meant that Britain only had access through the US adding additional strains on the supplies. And the tonnage lost to the War in the Atlantic was another factor that lead to shortages.
