During World War II, coal was rationed to ensure that it was available for essential wartime industries and the military. The scarcity of resources due to the war effort led to the need for strict control over fuel supplies to prioritize their use for manufacturing weapons, vehicles, and other critical supplies. Additionally, rationing helped manage domestic energy consumption, ensuring that civilians had enough fuel for heating and cooking while supporting the war. This was part of broader resource management strategies implemented by governments to sustain the war effort.
Yes it was. Almost everything was rationed!
Rationing in the UK lasted from 1939 till 1954. For some reasons bananas stayed rationed for a few months longer that other things. I thought coal rationing lasted until the late 60's Coal was never rationed in the UK, even in World War 2.
