It was at least an economic blockade. I had to double check, I did think they took a more active role, there was a prevention of transit through Panama Canal, and a few other things. If there ever was a time for an economic blockade to be effective that was it. “ an embargo of all trade with a country or region, intended to damage or dislodge the government.” I’m pretty sure if the US was in a position where their government was under thread from an economic blockade they’d consider it an act of war.
