Europe Responds • Great Britain- great sea power, island country • Napoleon attacks at Trafalgar but Britain wins • He institutes Continental System- all Europe agrees to blockade goods to Britain and British goods to Europe • European countries don’t agree and “cheat” on Napoleon
Nationalism • Made it possible for the French spirit and mass armies in support of Napoleon • But also made them hated by controlled countries who generated own nationalism
Fall of Napoleon • Attacks Russia • Russians drop out of Continental System • Retreat, destroy, burn own country • French follow • By October attack at Moscow but city gone. • Retreat to France but disaster • 40,000 of 600,00 + return
European states see chance • Rise up and capture defeated French army • Capture Paris 1814 • Exile Napoleon to Elba • Louis XVIII restored as monarch
