The famous Great Wall of China is considered to be the first line of defense and warning and was not even seen as an impenetrable barrier to those nomadic invaders and tribes. The view of the Great Wall was a vast plain of northern China that extends more than 300,000 sq. kilometers to the south.
Moreover, the region was comprised of coastal lowlands, Piedmont tablelands, highlands prairies and enormous mountains extending approximately 3170 miles from east to west. With this massive land mass and wide variations in climate and environmental factors such as unpredictable water currents in rivers, steppes, desert lands and impenetrable ridges, it was truly a first line of defense of China.

The evasion of the naval blockade during the Civil War was a set of operations designed to avoid the situation of blockade that the unionist side imposed on the Confederate side during the American Civil War, which stretched over 5,600 kilometers (3,500 miles) , from the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, and to the Mississippi River. The evasion was carried out by means of steamships, many of them specially built to reach a high speed for the time, that had to sail normally at night to not be detected. If they were sighted, the ships (called blockade runners) tried to maneuver or simply surpass any Union ship that was acting as a blocking patrol. The boats used for this task were generally privately owned, often operating with a privateering license issued by the Confederate States of America.
