French privateers continued to attack enemy merchant ships and naval vessels during conflicts such as the Napoleonic Wars. Their primary targets were British and, at times, Spanish shipping, aiming to disrupt trade routes and capture valuable cargo. These raids were part of France's broader strategy to weaken its adversaries economically and militarily. Additionally, privateering allowed France to supplement its naval forces without the expense of maintaining a large standing navy.
