Is there ever a time when sanctions worked? Any examples?

Half a century of sanctions have worked wonders with Cuba. Not.

Basic answer? No. Sanctions never work; 48 years of sanctions in Cuba haven't done a thing. North Korea even longer.
The reason is because they are ALWAYS violated, and the common people are the only ones to suffer. Saddam and his spawn pocketed billions under sanctions.
