Why did the Allies impose a blockade on Germany?
Trying to starve an enemy into submission is a well known way of forcing a surrender. (Think of sieges, for example). In WW1 both sides tried it on one another, as neither side was self-sufficent in food. Joncey Because in the year 1914 Britain had the largest Navy and in the same year Germany had the most powerful army, and the only way Britain could think to defeat the army by using a navy was to impose a blockade on Germany. The army could not win the war with no supplies of food or weapons.
Were there air raids on Birkenhead?
I read around the net and did not find any instances of air raids on Birkenhead, one of the places where children were sent to be kept safe from the Blitz bombings. You may be able to find out more from the people of the web site posted below on the related link.
There were certainly some major air raids on Birkenhead, the worst being in 1941. My Uncle Ernest was killed in this one & my dad had to identify his body in a mortuary crowded with dead victims of the bombing.
Children were NOT evacuated to Birkenhead for safety. On the contrary, they were evacuated OUT. I should know, because we took in 2 children from B'head, & there were other evacuees billeted at several homes in our road. We lived about 7 miles out of B'head.
Merseyside (i.e. Liverpool & Birkenhead was a prime target for the Luftwaffe because L'pool was the major port for the transatlantic convoys, and they built ships & submarines at B'head.
Who are the allies of Croatia?
Axis forces. We were loyal to the very end.
______________________________________________________________
I would add USA, we are really fond of each other. And of course most of the Balkan countries, like Slovenia, BiH, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania....even though there are conflicts we will never forget how we held together during the war. Serbia and Croatia have a strange connection, a lot of scars from the war are still here.

Is it true that two democratic countries never gone in war with each other?
Yes Virginia, democracies do fight each other.
In 1982, Great Britain fought the Falkland War with Argentina, which has been a presidential representative democratic republic since 1816.
Tony Blair may want to argue the fact with you semantically, since there was no declaration of war, however, the hundreds of dead, thousands of wounded and tens of thousands of POW's provides evidence to the contrary.
-APMc
Sadly, although Argentina may have become a presidential representative democratic republic in 1816, at the time of the Falklands War it was nothing of the sort. The government of the time was a dictatorship, and had been since 1976 when a military coup had overthrown the government of Isabel Martinez de Peron. She had herself suceeded her husband, Juan Domingo Peron, as president on his death in 1974, due to her position as vice-president in his legally elected regime.
Whether you think the Falklands War was right or wrong, it certainly was not a war between two legally elected democracies.

The United Kingdom declared war on Finland on December 6, 1941. Finland was loosely allied with Germany in its war effort against the Soviet Union, but never was anything but a true Democracy with freely elected Parliament and other democratic institutions from its independence in 1917, through the years of World War II, and since.

You could also include in these answers the war between Pakistan and India in the early 1970s, the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, the Soccer war between El Salvador and Nicaragua, the war between Ecuador and Peru in the early 80s. Even go as far as to include the Spanish-American War of 1898 and the war between Poland and Lithuania after WW1.
Where democratic war theory does hold some water is in its proposal of wars between democratic nations ending far quicker and more resolutely but as for them not occurring is a fallacy, probably cooked up in Tony Blair's mind to justify the invasion of Iraq and force the country into a western form of democracy that would seem acceptable to the U.S and U.K.
