In 1787, the two countries causing trouble for the confederation were Great Britain and Spain. Great Britain continued to impose trade restrictions and maintained military outposts in the Northwest Territory, while Spain closed the Mississippi River to American shipping, significantly affecting trade. These tensions highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and contributed to the push for a stronger federal government.
