I don't think,from what i know,that napoleon's Continental blockade was effective in what it aimed to do:Cut off England's trade.Britain ruled the oceans so the continental blockade was the only way Napoleon could really hurt england or so he thought.Russia and Portugual did not comply,so Napoleon used it as a pretense to conqer them.And England could safely sit behind the thin body of water,its moat,and plan napoleon's fall without any real troubel.Lord Nelson's victories at the Nile and Trafalgar saw to that.so I think it's safe to say napoleon's system was ineffective.England did after all,drive france out of iberia and general winter chased the Emperor out of russia.
