Best Answer

It was a French failed attempt at economic warfare against the UK which required European ports to ban UK goods and ships. It created resentment toward the French, it created a thriving smuggling trade and could not be enforced without a French Navy, a French Revenue Cutter Service, a French Coast Guard and an incorruptible Customs Service. It could never work as long as European demand for illicit UK goods existed.

How did the continental system lead to Napoleons downfall?

Napoleon's continental system had seemed to work in the beginning with a decline in British's exports and manufacting. Though because of the ongoing wars it was difficult to enforce it and smuggling became wide spread. The effect on Europe was a drop in trade, and ship building. This was one of Napoleon's failures that caused him to lose power. When trade was stopped between Great Britain Europe took a heavier loss.
