Rationing was primarily implemented by governments during wartime, notably during World War I and World War II, to manage scarce resources and ensure equitable distribution among the population. It was initiated by leaders like President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the U.S. and Winston Churchill in the UK to support military efforts and prevent shortages of essential goods. Rationing aimed to control consumption, support the war economy, and maintain morale among civilians by ensuring everyone received necessary supplies.
8 January 1940 Britain started to ration butter, sugar, eggs and bacon. Meat rationing started on 11 March that year and clothing was added to the list of things that were rationed later.
Rationing in the United Kingdom began during World War II, with the official start date being January 8, 1940. It was implemented to manage limited resources and ensure equitable distribution of essential goods such as food and fuel. Other countries involved in the war also adopted similar rationing measures around the same time to cope with shortages.
In Britain rationing lasted 14 years. From 1940 to 1954. In Western Germany rationing lasted 15 years.
Absolutely ! Without rationing - those people who were financially better off would have been able to 'stockpile' thousands of pounds of groceries - leading to severe shortages for the rest of the population. Rationing the amount a person could buy of certain foods, made sure everyone got their fair share in times of hardship.

Due to the Germans covering the sea this meant that Britain could not ship in any resources such as food. This meant that we were low on food and therefore rationing was compulsory.
