So the answer was a draft. Over 10 million men of different ethnicities were drafted into the army to serve for the war.

So such things like this were implemented where citizens only got 2 pounds of sugar per month. ]]> 2018-01-09 15:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/camerondstanley/lv8m1bftizu0/wish/219775946 camerondstanley https://padlet.com/camerondstanley/lv8m1bftizu0/wish/220173306 War bonds were set by the government during times when they needed to have debt securities to finance military operations and other items during times of war.
