                Would one country impose an embargo on another to improve relations or to punish it? I'm pretty sure it's to improve relations. Can anyone verify that? 
thanks

    Nope.  I suggest you look up embargo in a dictionary.

    I did. So instead would it be "to punish it"?

    Right.  Embargos try to prohibit trade to and from the country; the purpose is to punish the country.

    The most obvious example of how an embargo hurts a country is to see how Cuba is affected by the US embargo.
