Restriction of civilian access to food and critical materials during World War II due to the needs of the armed forces and the demands of war production. During World War II, the conflicting needs of the American civilian population and its military forces and industries gave rise to various systems for apportioning goods between the two spheres. Rationing of food and critical materials began almost immediately after U.S. entry into the war in 1941, and it became one of the defining aspects of everyday life on the home front. Industries, which were as deeply affected by rationing as were individuals, sometimes discontinued the manufacture of consumer goods due to having insufficient access to needed materials. Shortages also led some businesses to embrace programs of self-rationing in order to spread their limited goods as far as possible in an equitable manner.
