Support for the war effort in World War 2
The rationing of food helped the US send food to England and the troops. The rationing of fuel and oil assisted the war to fly planes, move ships and vehicles. The rationing of clothing and other things allowed companies which normally manufacture goods to change their manufacturing plants into war armament plants. It also allowed clothing and shoe companies to make uniforms, coats and boots for the troops. The same thing held true for Canada, England, New Zealand and Australia
Actions included rationing of things that were needed for the war effort, including fuel, tires, food, cloth, vehicles, etc. They included the sale of war bonds to help finance the government. They included shifting peacetime production (cars) to wartime production (Jeeps).
