Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This historical work illuminates the concept of Freedom of the Seas, a contentious principle used by enemies and neutrals to challenge the naval supremacy of powerful maritime nations like England. The author explores the roots of the principle in the time of the Armada and traces its development through conflicts and agreements up to the Napoleonic Wars. The book examines the underlying motives behind neutral nations' claims to freedom of commerce with belligerents, and argues that these claims were often driven by a desire to assist the enemy. By exploring the legal concepts of contraband trade and the rights of neutrals, the author examines the complex dynamics between belligerents and neutral merchants, highlighting how the innocent premise of neutrality could be undermined when neutral actions aided the enemy. The author reveals that the principle of freedom of the seas was often asserted as a convenient formula by enemies and neutrals to challenge England's maritime dominance, fueling several wars and diplomatic disputes. However, when neutral nations themselves engaged in warfare, they promptly abandoned this principle, revealing its opportunistic nature. This book sheds light on a crucial concept in maritime law and international relations, exposing the strategic and economic motivations that have shaped its development through history. By delving into the historical interplay between belligerents and neutral merchants, the author offers valuable insights into the complexities of naval warfare, the rights of nations, and the enduring quest for freedom on the seas.
