During the first year of the war in the philippines, over civilians were killed by american forces.

It is estimated that at least 16,000~20,000 Filipino soldiers were killed, with up to an extra 200,000 civilian deaths, mostly from a cholera epidemic. But R.J Rummel asserts that 128,000 Filipinos were murdered by the U.S. While, Filipino historian E. San Juan, Jr. contends that 1.4 million Filipinos died during the war and that creates an act of genocide on the part of the United States. Sources cite a figure of 200,000 to 250,000 total Filipino civilians dead with most losses attributable to disease.  The United States Department of State says that the war "resulted in the death of over 4,200 American and over 20,000 Filipino soldiers", and that "as many as 200,000 Filipino civilians pass away from violence, famine, and disease".

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.
