The nine-month siege of Richmond, which ultimately led to the city's surrender during the American Civil War, was primarily conducted by Union General Ulysses S. Grant. Beginning in June 1864 and culminating in April 1865, Grant's forces surrounded the Confederate capital, commanded by General Robert E. Lee. The extended blockade and continuous assaults weakened Confederate defenses, resulting in Richmond's fall on April 3, 1865. This event was pivotal in leading to the end of the Civil War.
The Siege of Leningrad, which lasted from September 1941 to January 1944 during World War II, resulted in an estimated 1.5 million casualties. This figure includes military personnel and civilians, with the majority being civilians who suffered from starvation, bombardment, and disease. The prolonged blockade led to severe food shortages, causing widespread famine and significant loss of life.
The event during the Kennedy administration that nearly led to World War III was the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. The United States discovered Soviet nuclear missiles stationed in Cuba, just 90 miles from its shores, prompting a tense 13-day standoff between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. President Kennedy imposed a naval blockade and demanded the removal of the missiles, leading to heightened tensions and fears of nuclear conflict. Ultimately, a diplomatic resolution was reached when the U.S. agreed to remove its missiles from Turkey in exchange for the withdrawal of Soviet missiles from Cuba.

The blockade of the War of 1812 was an attempt by the British to cut off American trade with Europe. The British Navy established a naval blockade along the east coast of the United States, preventing American merchant ships from reaching European ports. This blockade led to economic hardship and was one of the causes of the war.

The key factors that led to the historic naval battle between the USS Merrimack and the USS Monitor during the American Civil War were the development of ironclad warships, the strategic importance of controlling the waterways, and the need to break the Union blockade of Confederate ports.

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.
