Economic Warfare and the Crusades
Intended and unintended effects of trade embargoes imposed in support of crusades in the late Middle Ages

Medieval governments proved largely unable to enforce economic restrictions. However, trade embargoes had multiple, consequential by-effects on both the sender and the target. Moreover, the heritage of economic warfare in support of crusade efforts played a major part in the evolution of international relations and the formation of cultural constructs.
