Napoleon set up a blockade to prevent trade and communication between Great Britain and other European countries

The continental system was when Napoleon stopped the trade from European ports to Britain. It was created to damage the economy of the UK.
At the height of his power, Napoleon controlled a significant portion of Europe, including large territories in France, Italy, the Netherlands, and parts of Central and Eastern Europe, amounting to millions of square kilometers. However, the combined area of European countries that were not allied with or under his control—such as Britain, Russia, Prussia, and Austria—was also vast, encompassing a large part of Europe. While Napoleon's empire was extensive, it was still smaller than the total area of countries opposing him, particularly when considering Russia and Britain, which were significant in size and resources. Thus, while Napoleon's territories were considerable, they did not surpass the combined area of his adversaries.
Under the Continental System imposed by Napoleon, Great Britain was denied access to mainland European markets. Napoleon aimed to weaken Britain's economy by prohibiting trade with European nations, thus isolating it from continental commerce. This policy ultimately led to widespread smuggling and economic strain in both Britain and Europe. The system was part of Napoleon's broader strategy to establish French dominance in Europe.
During the rule of Napoleon, France was engaged in war with many European powers. These included Great Britain, Austria and Russia among others
