Many foodstuffs (including Oranges) that had to be imported during the war, was in short supply or not available.
During the US Civil War, the Northern forces had a significant advantage in terms of the available number of men for the army.

Bananas and Oranges
War of the Oranges happened on 1801-06-09.
If this question relates to shortages during World War Two in Great Britain then I would suggest the following. Bananas. These came primarily from the West Indies and shipping space could not be made available for what was seen as a non-essential food. Secondly fresh Oranges. These last came either from Spain which was officially neutral but supported the axis so did not make oranges available or from the USA which could supply but was asked to supply orange concentrate rather than fresh oranges as this took up less space on convoy ships.
During the spring and early summer.
Not in the UK. Due to rationing the only fruit available was that grown in Britain e.g. apples, pears, and strawberries. Bananas, oranges, peaches and other imported fruit were not available.
