Food rationing basically ended when the food ran out. Germans were starving because the Allies had done so much bombing on Germany the country was basically leveled. Hitler did not care about the German people. He did not try to get food for his people or his warriors. After the German's gave up the United States and other countries sent Germany food and West Germany and Berlin food staples for many years. They helped them with seeds and farm implements to regrow the foods they needed. Animals were supplied too since so many had been killed during the bombing campaign.

the reason is that Britain went through a massive devastation and needed time to recover that is why rationing was still going on after the war.
Germany. Germany had huge food issues towards the end of WW2 an had to deal with the Berlin Wall he hated Sovietsdings.
I'm puzzled by the words 'supported the World War 2 in many way'. The U.S. was an active combattant nation from 8 December 1941 till the end of the war.
Rationing didn't start until the end of WW1, whereas in WW2 it started almost immediately. The amounts of food rationed were different. In WW2 clothing was rationed. In WW1 the poor civilians were happy with rationing as, paradoxically, they had access to more food and a better lifestyle. However the rich people were not so happy with it and attempted to get more food from the black market. There was a thriving black market during both wars.
The Jews were not given rations in World War 2 in the Axis countries. They were rounded up and taken to the concentration camps. They got whatever measly food and liquid they were given. In the Ally countries they received the same rations as everyone else did.
There was very strict rationing in Germany is World War I, especially toward the end of the war when there was scarcity of almost everything.
Rationing was the restriction by law of food, sweets, clothes, petrol etc so that everyone could get something to eat etc, and so that rich people did not buy up everything. Rationing carried on for seval years after the end of WWII, I remember the end of sweet rationing.

Eventually, food rationing stopped at midnight on the 4th July 1954, when restrictions on the sale and purchase of meat and bacon were lifted. This happened nine years after the end of the war.

WW2 rationing ended in 1954, with the end of the meat ration.

Rationing was introduced because there was not enough food getting imported to England, and most of our food was imported from another country, so we had to ration our food to make sure EVERYONE had the same amount. Rationing began before the blitz in 1942. Rationing was introduced by the Government, and everyone had to stick to it, including the Royal Family. For vegetarians there were extra cheese etc, but only because they refused to eat meat. In the end they still had the same amount of food, possibly less. There was something called the Black Market around back then, where food sellers took ordinary people's rations and sold them for a larger expense to others who bought more. This meant less food for everyone else, and was certainly illegal. Rationing continued until food was back to it's normal input, a fair while after the war ended. Do you get it now? Oh yes, and did I mention I was only 11? I'm learning about WW2 at school.
Because everything was still in short supply and there was a major shortage of money. As different commodities started to become available, they gradually came off ration. Rationing didn't finally end in the UK until 1954.
