The first League of Armed Neutrality was an alliance of European naval powers between 1780 and 1783 which was intended to protect neutral shipping against the Royal Navy's wartime policy of unlimited search of neutral shipping for French contraband during the American Revolutionary War and Anglo-French War. British naval commanders followed their instructions with care, ordered away boarding parties and made seizures with impunity. According to one estimate, 1 in 5 merchant vessels did not make it to port safely due to this policy. By September 1778, at least 59 ships were taken prize – 8 Danish (and Norwegian), 16 Swedish and 35 Dutch, not mentioning others from Prussia. Protests were enormous by every side involved.

  • A Liga da Neutralidade Armada (1780-1783), mais conhecida na literatura lusófona por Liga dos Neutros, foi uma coligação de Estados europeus, liderados pela Rússia, formada durante a Guerra da Independência Americana com o objectivo de proteger a liberdade do comércio marítimo face às buscas e apreensões abusivas que eram conduzidas em alto-mar pela Marinha Real Britânica que seguia uma política de buscas ilimitadas alegadamente para suprimir o contrabando francês.

  • 第一次武裝中立聯盟(英語:First League of Armed Neutrality),是1780年至1783年间,數個歐洲海上力量結盟,旨在保护該國中立船隻的航行自由,對抗英國皇家海军在美国獨立战争和英法战争期间的禁運政策;英軍試圖搜查中立船隻船運,攔截運往法國的禁運品。 英国海军將領依其政策,登上船队,没收船隻的禁運品。根据估计,由于英國的攔截,每5艘商船中便有1艘無法安全到达港口。 至1778年9月止,至少有59艘船遭掠奪,包括8艘丹麦艦、16艘瑞典艦和35艘荷兰艦,及普鲁士的船只。 遭掠奪各方皆強烈抗议英國行徑。 (zh)
  • La Lega dei neutri, sorta nel 1781 su iniziativa di Caterina II di Russia, era intesa per mantenere il principio della libera navigazione dei mari, per navi battenti bandiera di stati neutrali, nel contesto della guerra d'indipendenza americana. (it)
  • Liga Zbrojnej Neutralności – istniejący w latach 1780-1783 sojusz państw europejskich, zawarty w czasie wojny Anglii z Francją, mający na celu wzajemną obronę przed działaniami brytyjskiej floty wobec statków pływających pod banderami krajów neutralnych. W sierpniu 1780 roku Szwecja, Rosja oraz Królestwo Danii i Norwegii utworzyły Ligę Zbrojnej Neutralności. W 1781 roku do Ligi przyłączyły się Prusy i Austria, w 1782 Portugalia, a w 1783 Królestwo Neapolu. (pl)
