The Continental System was Napoleon's attempt to cut off Britain's access to continental markets and strangle its economy. This was done by forbidding trade with Britain and imposing tariffs on goods imported from Britain. However, the system ultimately failed due to smuggling and the inability of other countries to enforce the blockade.
