Germany planned to blockade British ships primarily through the use of submarine warfare, particularly with U-boats. By targeting merchant vessels and naval ships in the waters around Britain, Germany aimed to disrupt supply lines and weaken the British economy. This tactic was part of a broader strategy to cut off resources and food supplies to the UK, ultimately hoping to force Britain into submission during World War I. The unrestricted submarine warfare led to significant tensions, including the sinking of the Lusitania, which turned public opinion against Germany.
There was no physical blockade of British ports by the French under Napoleon. What occurred was a trade war with competing embargos, begun by Napoleon in a plan to weaken Britain economically. France did not have the ships to enforce the announced blockade. The so-called "Continental system" prohibited other nations from trading with England. The British responded by blockading French ports. Caught in the middle were countries like the US, who only wished to have commerce wherever it was welcome. When Russia finally withdrew from the system in 1812, Napoleon invaded, eventually taking Moscow but losing almost his entire army.
To strangle the Souths lifeline of trade with Europe. The Confederacy ould not be able to trade cotton for armament food, medicine and the like. The blockade was a part of the Anaconda Plan,where all sea ports and river ports were sealed. It was effective, but not completely. Only after the fall of Vicksburgh on the Mississippi River in July 1863 did the blockade really take its toll.
The Plan they used worked in conjunction with plan 17 (the French's Plan) The British established the B.E.F The British expeditionary force Their plan was to sail across the channel and get to Belgium as quick as possible. To defend the flat land that Germany's Schliffen plan was meant to march through. Other than alot of stalemate in the trenches Not much happened as far as i can remember
The Annaconda Plan was designd to establish a Naval Blockade of the Southern ports and harbors and to prevent exports through Texas.

A Sea Blockade/ Union Blockade
To get the blockade lifted.
theanaconda plan was a plan made by the north. the plan was to use ships to make a blockade at the southern ports to block the supply routes
To blockade their ports thereby starving them into submission.
The original Anaconda Plan did call for, in part, a blockade of Confederate ports on its east and southern coasts. The blockade's effectiveness is disputed by historians. Much of the South's in and out shipping was able to run past the blockade by cover of night. Also, as the coastlines were huge, there could not be a total 100% blockade. It did, however, stop many ships from sailing into Southern ports.

Yes they did. They decided early on that they would need a naval force to combat the Union's Anaconda plan to blockade their ports. It was a small navy with only 12 ships, but it was very effective.
The Union Plan to blockade the South and to deny it access to world commerce.
The Union plan to block Southern ships from arriving at or leaving their harbors was called the Anaconda Plan. This strategy aimed to suffocate the Confederate economy by implementing a naval blockade, preventing the South from exporting cotton and importing supplies. The plan sought to divide the Confederacy by gaining control of the Mississippi River, ultimately aiming for a gradual and effective strangulation of Southern resources.
To blockade the Southern ports.
No. Ireland was neutral during the war, although they send some supplies to Germany because Germany was fighting the British.
