To effectively deal with the material replenishment that various countries around the world might provide to Germany, the Anglo-French-Australasian nations, after continuous discussions, finally decided to promulgate a quite overbearing policy, which was the unrestricted submarine warfare policy.

Such a statement was quite overbearing, and this also meant that all civilian vessels of countries along the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea were subject to the joint control of the Anglo-French-Australasian nations.

Brazil was different, though. Over a
