Narrative: Britain had instituted a blockade on Germany in response to its war
against Poland. That blockade continued into 1940 and had perilous effects on the
Italian economy. On March 1, 1940, Britain seized 13 Italian coal ships leaving Rot-
terdam and Antwerp. Italy increased the protests it had already expressed, and Italian
leader Mussolini penned a vitriolic response. Similar incidents continued until Italy
declared war against the Allies on June 10, joining World War II (see MID#257).
