Explanation: Gorbachev, who began with his changes by introducing "glasnost" and "perestroika", wanted to make reforms of the Soviet Union. These changes wanted to carry out economic and, above all, political reform, and to democratize the Soviet Union. One of these measures, glasnost, which in translates meant transparency, openness, meant democratization, creation of conditions for more open society and economy. In fact, these changes led to the end of the Soviet Union.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
