Napoleon left France in a state of bankruptcy primarily due to the immense costs of his military campaigns across Europe, which drained the nation's finances. His ambitious expansionist policies, including the costly invasion of Russia in 1812, led to significant losses and resources being depleted. Additionally, the Continental System, aimed at weakening Britain through trade embargoes, backfired and further strained the economy. By the time of his abdication in 1814, France faced severe economic instability, high debt, and social unrest.
