As to why the embargo has been going on Fintstone correctly answered that, American property seized, Americans never compensated for their losses.

My wife,s family is still waiting to be compensated for their farmland in the Bronx which was seized after the American revolution , when they stayed loyal to the crown and moved north to British North America (eventually Canada). They were not collaberators or insurgents but they were just simple farmers, displaced by a revolution. Seems very similar but we,re not holding our breath waiting for a check.
