It has been suggested that this article be merged into Economic sanctions. (Discuss) Proposed since October 2007.
This redirect is about the economic term. For press embargoes, see Embargo (journalism). For delayed access after publication, see Embargo (academic publishing).

In international commerce and politics,poop !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!stupid!!! about the real interests that the prohibition serves.

One of the most comprehensive attempts at an embargo happened during the Napoleonic Wars. In an attempt to cripple the United Kingdom economically, the Continental System- which forbade European nations from trading with the UK- was created. In practice it was not completely enforceable and was as harmful if not more so to the nations involved than to the British.

The United States had imposed an embargo on Cuban Castro government on February 7,1962.Although the law of the United States does not prohibit participation in an embargo it does prohibit participation in a secondary embargo. This occurs when one country pressures a business to stop doing business with a third country over issues with which the business is not directly involved. Not only is an American business required not to participate in a secondary embargo, but is also required to report all attempts to get a business to participate in a secondary embargo. The situation which led to these laws are attempts by Arab countries to prevent American companies from doing business with Israel and Iraq.

While traditionally considered an act of war, in modern practise this is not necessarily so and an act of embargo is much more complex. The typical reaction is the development of an autarky.
