hostile embargo

Read a random definition: ethical will

A quick definition of hostile embargo:

A hostile embargo is when one country stops ships from another country from coming into their ports. This can happen during a war or when there is a disagreement between the two countries. The purpose of a hostile embargo is to make the other country do what is right. If the situation is resolved peacefully, the ships will be allowed to come back. If not, the ships will be considered captured.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A hostile embargo is a type of reprisal by one nation against another nation's private ships found in the ports of the aggrieved nation, either during wartime or peacetime, for the purpose of forcing the offending nation to do justice. If this measure leads to war, the vessels are considered captured, but if it leads to peace, they are restored.

Example: During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States imposed a hostile embargo on Cuba, which prohibited all trade between the two countries. This embargo was a response to Cuba's alliance with the Soviet Union and the installation of nuclear missiles on Cuban soil. The embargo was lifted in 2015, after more than 50 years of economic sanctions.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the United States used a hostile embargo as a means of forcing Cuba to change its behavior. By prohibiting all trade, the United States hoped to weaken Cuba's economy and force the government to abandon its alliance with the Soviet Union. The embargo was successful in achieving its goal, as Cuba eventually removed the missiles and the Soviet Union withdrew its support.
