Basically, there were two reasons.Firstly, the English Channel stood between France and Britain - Britain really did rule the waves!Secondly, Napoleon was not a naval person, he thought as a land commander, but was all at sea on the water.
The reason is very simple: Britain defeated the German attempt to invade it!
Great Britain was in island nation ***** Napoleon never fully understood that war at sea was totally different than fighting on land. He was unable to drive the British navy from the English Channel. Any French invasion force crossing the Channel would have ended in total disaster for the French.

Britain declared war on Germany because Germany attacked Belgium in order to strategically invade France. Britain vowed to protect Belgium, so Britain joined World War I.
To be honest, they invaded anywhere, kinda like Hitler, it wasn't for a reason, it was a bout power. Hitler did invade some places for a reasons ie him and Stalin agreed to split Poland in half when the Nazis invaded, but that didnt happen and thus WW2
Did you mean...Napoleonic war? The coalitions of Europe teamed up against France as it was powerful and France wanted to invade all of Europe and North Africa.
The Germans did not invade England in modern times such as during the first or second World Wars. Some German tribes did invade England around the 5th century AD, ending the Roman-British culture established there by the Roman Empire. The main reason the Germans didn't invade in the 2nd world war was the British fought and won against the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, meaning the British had air superiority. It would be suicidal to attempt air or amphibious invasion without air superiority, therefore the Germans didn't invade.
The inability to reinforce the German Sixth Army .
Whatever Napoleons dream of colonial empire may have been, the uprising in San Domingo [Haiti] cheked the occupation of the claimed territory; and later the later the imminence of another war with Great Britain compelled the sale of Louisiana to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy.
