Could there have been any other options besides the continental system?
Reading the effectiveness of napoleon’s continental system it is apparent that it did indeed fail to bring about economic collapse to Great Britain and bring about an end to the war.
But my question is what options could napoleon have taken aside from his continental blockade?
Because after the battle of trafalgar that ended napoleons goal to invade England for the foreseeable future. He did have a large fleet at Brest but that was being blocked by the channel fleet and other scattered squadrons of ships.
He did try to rebuild the French fleet’s but that would have taken a few years at least to try effectively counter the royal navy.
I just not sure what else he really could have done other than the continental system ineffective as it was.
