More soldiers and more fighting called for less food and less materials of clothing for everyone. As more and more soldiers fought in the war, more and more food and pieces of cloth for the soldiers’ uniforms were needed. There just didn’t seem to be enough for both all the soldiers, generals and all of the townspeople. The food was becoming scarce and the people were told to eat less food to be able to feed their soldiers. Farmers were forced to grow more food to feed the hungry soldiers and the ever demanding townsfolk. Factories were shut down and told to make uniforms, weapons, and other necessities for the soldiers. For example during the war, factories making leather boots were told to stop and instead start to make boots for the soldiers.
