The Embargo Act of 1807, implemented by the United States to restrict trade with Britain and France, significantly impacted both nations. It crippled their access to American goods, which were vital for their economies, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. In response, Britain and France increased their efforts to circumvent the embargo, with Britain imposing its own trade restrictions on the U.S. This escalating tension ultimately contributed to the War of 1812 between the U.S. and Britain.
