The Continental System was a foreign policy enacted by Napoleon Bonaparte in the early 19th century, primarily from 1806 to 1814. It aimed to weaken Britain economically by imposing a trade blockade, prohibiting European nations from trading with the British. The system ultimately backfired, leading to widespread smuggling, economic hardship in continental Europe, and contributing to the rise of resentment against French domination. Its failure played a significant role in Napoleon's eventual downfall.
