Economic sanctions differ from military intervention in their approach and implications. Sanctions are non-military, punitive measures imposed on a country to influence its behavior or policies, such as restrictions on trade, finance, or travel. They aim to apply pressure without resorting to violence. In contrast, military intervention involves the use of armed forces and can lead to significant loss of life and destruction. While sanctions offer a means to exert influence without direct conflict, their effectiveness can vary, and they may not sufficiently resolve underlying tensions in international relations.
