I look dashing. Anyways, The Continental System or Continental Blockade was Napoleon I of Frances foreign policy against Great Britain. As a response to the naval blockade of the French coasts enacted by the British government on 16 May 1806, Napoleon issued the Berlin Decree on 21 November 1806, which brought into effect a large-scale embargo against British trade. This ended on April 11, 1814 after Napoleons first abdication. It forbade the import of British goods into European countries allied with or dependent upon France, and installed the Continental System in Europe. All connections were to be cut, even the mail. British merchants smuggled in many goods and the Continental System was not a powerful weapon of economic war. There was some damage to Britains trade, especially in 1808 and 1811, but its control of the oceans helped mitigate the effects. The loss of Britain as a trading partner also hit the economies of France and its allies. So we were hungry back then. And then countries gave up on France’s issues one after the other, and then Britain’s economy outrageously didnt collapse despite the damage in trade and then Britain took revenge Napoleon’s fall was the consequence of messing with Britain. source: bluejamjarart.tumblr/ -Norway
