British Blockade

The British Blockade refers to a naval strategy employed by Britain during conflicts, most notably during World War I and World War II, to restrict the flow of goods, supplies, and resources to enemy nations. By using naval ships to patrol and control key maritime routes, Britain aimed to weaken opponents by cutting off food, raw materials, and military supplies. This blockade significantly impacted the economies and war efforts of countries like Germany, contributing to their eventual defeat. The strategy highlighted the importance of sea power in modern warfare and emphasized the interconnected nature of global trade and conflict.
