By this British Rule, a neutral nation will not be traded with if they are trading with the opposition of Britain. This was created during the Seven Years War by the British Admirality Courts, and reinstituted by the British Government in 1753. The rationale behind such a rule is that a neutral nation that trades is aiding the enemy. This promulgation was also one of the key factors which fueled the War of 1812. British warships forced American sailors, who were captured, to serve for the British Navy (a process known as impressment). Although America repeatedly asserted its neutrality, Britain applied its Rule of 1756 and deemed American to be siding with France; this was their rationale for the impressment of British soliders. |
