Definition
Plural of gunboat; small warships designed to carry guns and operate in shallow waters or rivers.
Etymology
From 'gun' + 'boat'. The term emerged in the 18th-19th centuries when European powers built specialized armed vessels for colonial expansion.
Kelly Says
Gunboat diplomacy was when Western powers literally sailed armed ships to weak nations to force trade deals—the dark side of how global commerce actually developed!
