Victory through economics?

Is it possible for a country to fold? I'm not the most educated on this game so correct anything I say... If your texas and you want to acquire Mexico is it possible to do things just to cripple Mexico's economy so bad that there's a civil war/movement to join a nearby successful country?

Like Could you block all ports, destroy trade lines along the outskirt of Mexico, Destroy industries/commerce... and just sit back till there's nothing left but debt and come in? Or will you then acquire the debt with the new land?

I suppose to could destroy their industaries and stuff so they are crippled ecomically and so their army might revolt...

This could then lead to them willing to accept surrender on your terms...

Like give you land in return for peace but i don't think all the country is just gonna say 'You know what I wanna be ruled by Texas'

True... kinda. If were back in an age where there aren't really countries more territories and borders change all the time. Each city is more like an alliance to the people that 'claim' their ownership. Or at least that's how I'm imagining it.

Is there a spell check on the forums?
