A military tactic through which ports are shut off to keep people or supplies from moving in or out

History
1 answer:
enot [183]4 years ago
6 0


A military tactic through which ports are shut off to keep people and or supplies from moving in or out is called a blockade. A blockade is usually directed at an entire country or region and is  different  from a siege which targets a fortress or a city. It is also distinct from  an embargo or sanctions, which are actually legal barriers to trade.

While most blockades in history took place at sea , blockades were also used on land to prevent someone from coming into a certain area. In the 20th Century, air power has also been used to enhance the effectiveness of the blockade by halting air traffic within the blockaded airspace.

What does the Declaration of Idependence state that the new country will do differently?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Its goals were to rally the troops, win foreign allies, and to announce the creation of a new country. The introductory sentence states the Declaration’s main purpose, to explain the colonists’ right to revolution.

These are the lines contemporary Americans know best: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness.” These stirring words were designed to convince Americans to put their lives on the line for the cause. Separation from the mother country threatened their sense of security, economic stability, and identity. The preamble sought to inspire and unite them through the vision of a better life.
