Continental policy

The Continental policy was an economic policy by Napoleon designed to
cripple trade between continental Europe and Great Britain. Unfortunately
for Napoleon, Britain was capable of sustaining itself through agriculture
and industry, and other necessary trade items could be obtained through
smuggling off the coast of Europe in areas that Napoleon did not fully
control (such as the North Sea and the Adriatic islands). However, it
probably limited Britain's ability to fight the War of 1812, until Napoleon
was defeated in 1814. The policy also contibuted to Napoleon's invasion of
Russia in 1812, as Russia only tacitly supported the policy and in fact
helped keep the Baltic Sea open to trade with Britain.
