Britain had to ration goods during World War II due to shortages caused by the war's impact on production and supply chains. With a significant portion of resources redirected to support the military effort, essential items like food, fuel, and clothing became scarce. Rationing was implemented to ensure equitable distribution, prevent hoarding, and maintain morale among the population. This system allowed the government to manage limited resources effectively while supporting the war effort.
