Chancellor Otto von Bismarck was savvy enough to know that the divided German states would rally together around a united cause if they fought in war together for a common cause. So Bismarck provoked a number of wars -- always making it look like he and Prussia were defending German national interests, not acting as the primary aggressors. He strategically sparked war with Denmark over territories that were more German than Danish and thus (Germans felt) should not be under Danish control. On the heels of that issue, he lured Austria into a war that enabled Prussia to establish itself as Austria's equal. Finally, he provoked the French into declaring war on Prussia. (Look up a little thing called the Ems Telegram if you want to know how that happened.) The end result was the defeat of France and the declaration of a German Empire (the Second Reich, as it became known.)

Answer from: Quest

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
