Britain overcame Napoleons Continental System, this forced other less powerful states to choose sides over France or Britain and a few swayed sides towards Britain. Britain actually thrived during this time and most of Europe took a financial hit because of the laws. Britain was also a part of all of the coalitions that fought France and weakened their army enough to the point where they defeated Napoleon and exiled him. When Napoleon returned from his exile he was defeated by the coalitions again in Waterloo where he was finally exiled to St. Helena and eventually died of cancer. This all shows that not only did Britain have a role in defeating Napoleon but they were one of the main reasons he was defeated.
