Napoleon Bonaparte created the continental system in order to weaken Britain's economy. The system forbid any nation in Europe from trading with Britain.
Napoleon dominated most of Europe except Britain because he wanted to share his power with the whole world. He thought he had more power than anyone so he thought that he could dominate the whole of Europe. Nelson, the British commander at the time, was the only man who beat the fierce Napoleon.

The five countries that declared war on Napoleon were Britain, Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Sweden. These nations formed various coalitions to oppose Napoleon's expansion across Europe during the Napoleonic Wars. Each country had its own motives, including territorial ambitions and the desire to restore the balance of power in Europe. Their combined efforts ultimately contributed to Napoleon's defeat and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France.

Napoleon was able to conquer continental Europe due to his superior army and tactics. However the French Navy was inferior to the British Navy so he could not easily invade and defeat Britain. Britain, meanwhile, was free to aid the enemies of Napoleon in Europe by subsidising them and sending them supplies. Napoleon attempted to destroy Britain by destroying its trade. He forbade any country under his control to trade with Britain or accept British goods. This would deprive the British of their revenue and, he hoped, force them to stop supporting his opponents in Europe. The strategy was ultimately unsuccessful.
Napoleon's conquests in Europe brought Britain, as well as Austria, Russia and many other countries, into war with France.
Britain was awarded no new territory in Europe, but it gained Malta, Ceylon and the islands in the East and West Indies as part of its reward for its great effort against Napoleon.
