Blockade running ended primarily due to the increased effectiveness of naval blockades and advancements in technology, such as faster and more powerful warships that could better patrol and intercept blockade runners. Additionally, military strategies evolved to focus on cutting off supplies to enemy forces, making it increasingly difficult for blockade runners to operate successfully. The conclusion of major conflicts, like the American Civil War, also diminished the need for blockade running as the circumstances that necessitated it changed.
