The work is rooted in the context of World War I, addressing the implications of British policies regarding neutral merchants amid the conflict and their interactions with both belligerent nations, particularly the United States and Germany. The central theme revolves around the rights and duties of neutral merchants and the extent to which their commerce can be regulated by belligerent actions. The opening of the work serves primarily as an introduction to the complex legal debates surrounding neutral trade during wartime. Piggott outlines the criticism directed towards the British Order in Council issued in March 1915, which aimed to respond to the German submarine threat by limiting neutral trade that could benefit the enemy. He elaborates on the various American protests against this Order, emphasizing the interplay between national interests, legal obligations, and the underlying moral considerations of warfare. Piggott's analysis sets the stage for further exploration of the intricate relationship between trade, law, and global power dynamics during wartime.
