Napoleon Bonaparte, primarily known for his military and political endeavors, engaged in trade policies mainly during his rule from 1799 to 1815. He implemented the Continental System in 1806, which aimed to weaken Britain economically by prohibiting trade between Britain and European nations under French influence. This policy, however, led to widespread smuggling and economic hardship in many regions of Europe. Napoleon's focus on trade was often secondary to his military campaigns and political strategies.
The continental system was when Napoleon stopped the trade from European ports to Britain. It was created to damage the economy of the UK.
In 1810 Congress passed a law permitting direct trade with either France or Britain, depending on which country first lifted its trade restrictions against America. Napoleon seized the opportunity and promised to end France's trade restrictions.Unfortunately, Napoleon had tricked the American administration. The French continued to seize American ships, selling them and pocketing the proceeds.
