The Embargo Act of 1807 was an attempt by President Thomas Jefferson and the U.S. Congress to prohibit American ships from trading in foreign ports. It was intended to punish Britain and France for interfering with American trade while the two major European powers were at war with each other.

The attack of China meant that there was a huge market and a potential ally cut off from the European powers.

The Chinese market was very lucrative and the nations had believed China would develop into a strong political ally of the nations that are in close ties with it but this was sent in jeopardy when Japan brutally attacked the country and looted its capital.

This ruined the relations between Japan and the western powers and made war an inevitability as the powers could not let go such a brutal attack on one of their staunch allies to go unpunished.
