What was the purpose of the continental system? Did it succeed or fail? Imagine that you are a senior advisor to Napoleon. You have been asked to prepare a memo outlining the advantages and disadvantages of disrupting Britain's trade with Europe. Your memo should examine the impact of such a move from the standpoint of Britain, France, and the rest of Europe.

Question

The purpose of the continental system was to stop trade from European ports to Britain. The continental system failed because the British increased their global trade. I really need help with my memo, I am having difficulties starting it, your help will be appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

Here's the post you made last night about the audience for this memo. Sorry, I didn't see it before.

"Oh, I am so sorry, I messed up on that, it was supposed to say: Imagine that you are a senior advisor to Napoleon. You have been asked to prepare a memo outlining the advantages and disadvantages of disrupting Britain's trade with Europe. Your memo should examine the impact of such a move from the standpoint of Britain, France, and the rest of Europe."

I'd start it this way:
