You are correct. The naval blockade was indeed deliberate, and it was implemented as a tactic to weaken the German war effort and hasten their surrender. The Allied forces aimed to block food and other essential resources from reaching Germany, which created a shortage of supplies that impacted German civilians and military personnel.

While the blockade was an act of war, it was not used as a method of direct aggression against individual German civilians or non-combatants. The Allies sought to control the flow of resources to weaken the German war machine and bring the war to a quicker end, but unfortunately, it led to severe shortages of basic necessities for the German people.

It is important to acknowledge the complexities of war and its impact on individuals on all sides of the conflict, and to work towards promoting empathy and understanding among all people.
