Why did Napoleon's empire collapse?
Napoleon's empire collapsed for a number of reasons. Firslty Napoleon made a catastrophic mistake by invading Russia.. he planned 9 weeks for the whole campaign... that included the march into Moscow and defeating the Russian army. Nealry 600,000 men set out on the campaign and only 25,000 returned... Napoleons army was completely wiped out. Secondly, Napoleon's mental state had begun to deteriorate, he was unable to make sound judgements; and all the while his foreign enemies were gaining strength. They had united against Napoleon... following the war of 1812, Russia had joined the blockade that Briatin had set up against France. Britain ultimately controlled all of the sea ports, including the English Channel. This gave them control that no other country in Europe had. Nelson (G. Britain) annihilated Napoleon's Grand Army, and after this, Napoleon's Empire crumbled. The rest of Europe saw this weakness, and joined G. Britain in destroying the Grand Empire. Louis XVIII was then returned to the throne.The downfall of Napoleon's empire was caused by several interlocking factors. First, Napoleon's confidence stretched into over-confidence, which led to the over-stretching of French soldiers and war-making resources. Also connected, Napoleon's harsh rule over conquered territories caused bitter resentment among the people of those territories, which led to loss of production and the increase of rebellion, yet again taxing the resources of the French governing power. Finally, the staunch resistance of Great Britain maintained pressure on France which was significant in its own right.

Why did Napoleon lose in Spain?
Many reasons. Here are a few.Britain was determined to restore the Bourbon monarchy in France and so consistently bankrolled military coalitions against Napoleon.Napoleon's unpopular Continental System which banned trade between Britain and Napoleon's empire.Napoleon's invasion of Spain. Here his troops encountered resistance from guerrilla fighters. Napoleon greatly misjudged local attitudes to his reforms as well as the power and involvement of the Catholic Church in Spain.Napoleon's Russian campaign (1812). The Russians drew Napoleon as far as Borodino and burned down Moscow before Napoleon arrived. Napoleon should have quickly declared victory and left but he chose instead to wait for a treaty with the Tsar (temporarily residing in St Petersburg). It never came and the army marched back in bitter winter at the loss of 500,000 troops.The allied forces reached Paris in 1814, before Napoleon's brief rise over the 100 days return from Elba, until his final fall at Waterloo in 1815.
How did napoleon try to stop the British?
Like Hitler, Napoleon intended to invade England, but was never able to concentrate the ships and men to do so. He formed the 'Army of England', which was intended to be comprised of the 50,000 troops he estimated would do the job. These troops were never available, and he abandoned the plan. England however, planned a defense, which relied on Fencibles, Yeomanry, Militia, and armed civilians in addition to Regular troops, and depended upon a 'scorched earth' strategy intended to deprive Napoleon's army of forage. Eventually, the 'scorched earth' approach was abandoned in favour of a more conventional defense which was, of course, never used. In 1797, however, the French did attempt to invade Ireland with 500 troops, but the ships carrying them were destroyed by a squadron under Edward Pellew.
