1. The Continental System. 2. The Invasion of Russia. 3. Invasion of Spain.
Russia and Spain were his undoing. Egypt also if you're honest.
Napoleon Bonaparte did not successfully gain Russia, Spain, or Great Britain. He did not invade Britain because they were allies after signing a peace treaty. He didn't invade Spain because he was expanding west. He tried to invade Russia, but failed, making France lose EVERYTHING.

At the height of his power in 1812, Napoleon controlled all of continental Europe from Spain in the west to Moscow (Russia) in the east, from the North Sea to the Italian states in the south. Much of this control was of course precarious, with only a single major defeat needing to happen in order for Napoleon's grip to start slipping.
