The Germans effectively cut off British food supplies during World War I through their naval blockade, which began in 1914 and intensified in 1915. This blockade aimed to restrict maritime trade and significantly impacted Britain's food supply, leading to shortages and malnutrition among the civilian population. The situation worsened until the war's end in 1918, contributing to the overall strain on British resources during the conflict.

In World War 2 why did Germans bomb ports?

1. To disrupt the import of supplies (food, medicines, vital goods, raw materials and so on). If ships bringing supplies to us were unable to dock then rationing of food and other supplies would be even worse than it was - eventually the nation would starve. 2. To disrupt the export of materials and other things. Weapons and ammunitiom left the country to supply the troops abroad. If supplies were cut off then the troops would be defenceless.
