Answer 1

In 1806, Napoleon attempted to make Europe more self-sufficient through the implementation of the Continental System. This economic blockade aimed to weaken Britain by prohibiting trade between Britain and other European nations under French control. The goal was to bolster the French economy and diminish British influence, but it ultimately led to widespread smuggling and economic hardship for many countries involved. The system was largely unsuccessful and contributed to growing discontent towards Napoleon's rule.
