The 1948 Soviet Blockade of West Berlin was a Failure, because although the Russians could stop land/ground traffic (trucks and trains) from travelling from West Germany, through East Germany to West Berlin, they could not stop airplanes, especially transports carrying essential supplies from flying from West Germany to West Berlin. After several months of around the clock planes flying from West Germany to West Berlin, the Russians gave up in failure.
5 out of 6 blockade runners were successful

It was a successful tactic by the Union Navy to blockade the Southern ports, so that the Confederacy could not export its plentiful cotton in exchange for war-supplies.
The Union's naval blockade was successful due to its implementation of a well-coordinated strategy that utilized a large fleet of ships to effectively seal off Southern ports. This blockade severely restricted the Confederacy's ability to import essential goods, including weapons, food, and medical supplies, while also hindering their ability to export cotton and other commodities. The Union navy’s superior resources and technological advancements, such as ironclad ships, further enhanced the blockade's effectiveness. As a result, the blockade significantly weakened the Southern economy and military capacity over time.
The blockade efforts of the Union were successful as possible. This was because naval operations at the time did not have modern tools such as radar. A good number of trading ships eluded Union blockades. It greatly diminished Southern trade but it could not shut it down completely. This was no surprise to the Union navy.
Because it made sure that the south could not sell or recieve goods. It ruined their economy.
they put up a Blockade. The blockade stopped us from getting in.
A highly successful tactic that prevented war supplies reaching the Confederacy.
By successful organizing and carrying out the famous Berlin air lift with which the city of Berlin was supplied forcing the Russian to give up the blockade after almost eleven month (June 24, 1948 - May 12, 1949)
Blockade running was fairly successful during the US Civil War. These were primitive naval times for sea going vessels. At night, for example, stopping a blockade running vessel was almost impossible. Experts to this day dispute whether the Union's blockade was a significant factor in the combination of factors that led to the South's surrender. As far as the most profitable items that slipped past the blockade, these were luxury items such as perfumes or precious gems.
The naval blockade was no match for our cutters.
During the first nine months of the US Civil War, the Union's blockade of Southern ports was not successful. In the year ending in 1861, nine out of ten ships eluded the Union's efforts. One reason was that the Northern navy simply needed more ships. Union shipyards were busy trying to fix that problem. Union shipyards had the great advantage of being geographically safe from harm. The Rebel army was just too far away.
