1 #17 Role of Foreign Powers Nicholas Oliveira

2 Russian Role  Supported the union throughout the war  Most likely because it was Britain's main competitor  Stationed a fleet in American waters for part of the war  Sale of Alaska occurs just after the civil war though Russia had been attempting to sell it before the war began

3 English and French Role  Both powers remained officially neutral during the war  The Confederacy hoped that Britain and France would intervene in their favor because of their need for cotton  This never occurred (Obviously) Neither power wanted a war in America  Britain stepped up cotton production in India

4 Bahamas -- Used as a base by Confederate blockade runners -- Nassau becomes a haven for smugglers/pirates (again) -- Brings a lot of money to the island -- Goes to build a nice hotel for visiting Americans -- Most of it (the money) leaves once the war ends

5 Conclusion  Overall, no meaningful foreign intervention occurred  Still several instances when it appeared very likely that it might  Even if no intervention occurred the possibility of intervention changed decisions made throughout the war
