World War Two
Published 6 Aug 2021With the scarce food supply brought about by war, many turn to the black market and its astronomic prices as supplements. It is a place for opportunists and patriotic protesters, but mainly it’s a means to survive.

World War Two

When looking at the war, one shouldn’t forget that everyday life is upside down as well. For many people throughout the world, it is also a daily struggle to ensure survival. Food is very central to that, as the war disturbed the global trading networks and made export and import very difficult. This is why most governments implemented rationing. The natural extension of this seems to be the emergence of a black market, which has surprisingly many faces throughout the different countries. I personally found it also very fascinating to see how its participants managed to trick the various systems. Was there anything that surprised you to hear? Please let us know in the comments!Cheers, Fiona
