What happened when rationing and restrictions ended after world war ii? ?

opened the floodgates to consumer purchases

Explanation:

With tve intention to make Britain weak, Germany restricted the supplies of food and other goods such as furniture, clothing and also petrol. After World War II, when these restrictions and rationing finished, the floodgates were opened so that consumers could purchase what they wanted in large quantities.

america opposed the axis powers, because they knew that the united states would be targeted during the war. not only that, but germany (which was an axis power) broke the treaty of versailles, and started developing an army, and started attacking and taking over countries. furthermore, japan, which was allied with germany and italy (who both were axis powers) was attacking china, which was a great ally to the united states.
