Now, a lot of the British food supply came from the US in the late 19th century, as the US, with its great amounts of farmland, was a net exporter. Indeed, it was one reason why the two came to a rapprochement. I find that this fact is often neglected when it comes to scenarios in which Britain and the US see a freeze in relations that eventually turns into war.
My question is, with a freeze of relations that eventually turns into war, where would Britain get the new amounts of food? Would they get it from India and cause a famine, as may have happened during the Second World War?
