Great Britain reacted to the continental system in a very dramatic way. First, the thought it was horrible, then they tried getting rid of it but it didnt happen.

*newpost* Above answer is not very clear. Britain reacted by setting up their own blockade. When Napoleon made his continental system, he blocked out Britain from trade very weakly. In return, Britain made an extremely powerful blockade that dominated France's blockade. Britain had a much stronger navy that was capable of such a feat.

They did nothing, really. Europe needed Britains goods and Britain had America to trade with which, at the time, was a rich country to trade with. The continental system turned against Europe.
