@davidhutchison3343 That is why under the rules of war, ships were to ID ships. The Surface Raiders stopped and boarded ships. Subs did Unrestricted warfare when ASW became harder. It was standard practice at first to surface, inspect and use the deck gun to sink Merchants. On the other hand, Neutral ships trading with your enemy are fair game.

@jerms405 Because people wanted peace and not War. That is the reason for the treaty and the League of Nation's. Add in the Depression, and you have 2 major reasons not to bust the treaty

@ethanhatcher5533 Rephrase the question. Capture continues today. But it falls out of favor as guns gain power and sail age goes away.

@johnperetin5944 There was little commerce to raid. US shipping is too far or protected. Other than Australia and NEw Zealand, the IJN controls the sea to the Indian Ocean.

@alt7488 True. No shipping, the UK is dead.

@TheJsmitty85 Not much. Odd ball ships, non American weapons, Metric tooling, french speaking. More pain than help.

@alt7488 Next World War? It's called the War on Terror and is still in progress.
