Rationing in World War I
-People initially celebrated Britain's entrance in the war; although they believed it would be over by Christmas 1914.
-the nation asked for 100,000 volunteers and 750,000 signed up in the fist month. (History learning site, 2005)
-the Home Front saw massive changes in the role of women, rationing, conscientious objectors and strikes by workers.
-the war led to inflation, food prices increased in part because of U-boat campaigns by the Germans.
-Britain was also attacked for the first time by Zeppelin raids and Naval air strikes.
-Civilians were targeted
-As a result The Royal Naval Air Service flew night patrols to protect the city.
-Most of the Home Front efforts were organized by Defense of the Realm Act (DORA)
-Rationing was initiated at the end of World War I, initially to respond to an effective U-Boat campaign by the Germans. (February 1918)
- Food shortage did not become a problem until 1917, when unrestricted submarine warfare was started by Germany.
-Coal was at all time lows by October 1916 and it was rationed by the number of rooms a family had.
-The restrictions imposed by DORA did not work, so the government attempted limit consumption for the realm, and the Royal family set the standard that all should follow.
-Any space that could grow was turned into a garden.
-Most men who used to farm were in the war, so the "Women's Land Army" stepped up.
-By 1918 rationing cards were issued to every family, who had to register with butchers, and grocers and could not exceed their allotments.
-Although malnutrition was a problem for many poorer communities, by the end of the war rationing had managed to stave the problem.
