Britain used the policy of impressment primarily to address manpower shortages in its naval forces during the early 19th century, especially during the Napoleonic Wars. This practice allowed the British Navy to forcibly recruit sailors from merchant ships and even from foreign vessels, claiming that many were British subjects. Impressment was controversial and contributed to tensions with the United States, as American sailors were often caught in the process. Ultimately, it was seen as a necessary measure to maintain naval supremacy but fueled resentment and conflict.
