Napoleon’s 3 Costly Mistakes
1) The Continental System ordered a blockade (forced all ports to close) to stop trade between Britain and Europe goal to isolate Britain weakened trade, but didn’t destroy it (smuggling) Britain blockaded all neutral ships hurt Napoleon’s empire more than his enemies
2) The Peninsular Campaign Went through Spain to invade Portugal Spanish rioted, so he deposed (kicked out) the Spanish king and replaced him with his brother, Joseph Guerillas (Spanish peasant fighters) ambushed Napoleon’s troops, which weakened France Spanish proved importance of nationalism
3) Invasion of Russia French ally, Russia, sold grain to Britain (French enemy), so Napoleon invaded most French troops were drafted, and felt little loyalty Russians used a scorched-earth policy (burned fields and slaughtered livestock to starve soldiers into surrendering) Attacks and cold weather nearly wiped out the French army
NAPOLEON’S FINAL DEFEAT After attempting to make a comeback (Hundred Days) and re-conquer France, Napoleon’s army was defeated by the British and Prussians at Waterloo (in Belgium, 1815)

Changes Made at Vienna (1) France was deprived of all territory conquered by Napoléon. Russia was given most of Duchy of Warsaw (Poland). Prussia was given half of Saxony, parts of Poland, and other German territories. A Germanic Confederation of 30+ states (including Prussia) was created from the previous 300, under Austrian rule. Austria was given back territory it had lost recently, plus more in Germany and Italy. The House of Orange was given the Dutch Republic and the Austrian Netherlands to rule.
