The unexpected raid of the British admiral Lord Nelson, forced Napoleon to lose. Soon after this loss, Napoleon attempted to force Economic Blockades on Britain called the Continental System.

While a majority of Mahan’s writing was focused around the American Navy, Mahan can be attributed to supplying the foundation for multiple nations’ future naval programs through his books.

The British failed to recognize the United States of America as a separate and free country, and by enlisting the help of frustrated Native Americans they continued to be a sore within America.

conflict occurred in 1982 which resulted due to the Argentine invasion of the British-owned Falkland Islands. Argentina, a huge country which occupies most of the southern part of South America, maintained these islands as part of its own territory.
