Step-by-step explanation:

The Navigation Acts were a form of economic warfare because their initial target was the Dutch, who were far ahead of the English in shipping and foreign trade in the mid-seventeenth century. The Navigation Acts in conjunction with three Anglo-Dutch wars within the year 1652 did seriously damage Dutch shipping and commerce.
