Before World War II, the ships bringing food to Britain faced significant challenges, particularly due to the increasing threat of German U-boats. These submarines targeted merchant vessels, aiming to disrupt supply lines and starve Britain into submission. As a result, Britain implemented measures such as convoy systems to protect these ships and ensure the flow of essential supplies. Despite these efforts, food shortages and rationing became a reality as the war progressed.

The British aimed to restrict trade between the United States and France, as American ships were seen as a means of circumventing British naval dominance. This blockade contributed to rising tensions between the U.S. and Britain, ultimately leading to the War of 1812.
