In 1941, during World War II, many essential goods were rationed in the United States and other countries to support the war effort and manage shortages. Key items included food staples like sugar, coffee, and meat, as well as gasoline, rubber, and various consumer goods. Rationing was implemented through the use of ration books that limited the quantity each person could purchase. This system aimed to ensure equitable distribution and conserve resources for military use.
