What Rationing Looked Like in The US During World War II
Rationing During WW2 in the US
Rationing during World War 2 in the US began with tires, in 1941. In 1942, sugar rationing followed, and so was gasoline. In the summer of 1945, gas rationing ended on the west coast, along with most other rations, though sugar continued to be rationed in some parts of the country up until 1947. [Source]
When I last wrote, the topic was the rationing of gas and rubber during World War 2. Since I had a friend from abroad express surprise that the United States used rationing during World War 2, I thought it would be fun to share the propaganda materials distributed by the US government to promote and encourage rationing.
Take a look!
