Why did industrialization begin on the continental continent after the Nepoleonic wars?
Answers
Answer:
Napoleon wanted to hobble the British economy and give France a chance to build up its own manufacturing and industry. The Continental System began in 1806 with Napoleon's Berlin Decree, which banned British ships from entering European ports.
Explanation:
On February 16, 1808, under the pretext of sending reinforcements to the French army occupying Portugal, French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Spain. ... By October, the Iberian Peninsula was liberated, and Wellesley launched an invasion of France.
What if Napoleon never invaded Spain and instead invaded Russia earlier. He would still lose the Russian campaign. Although the defeat might have less catastrophic consequences. Also keeping an alliance with Spanish Bourbons, would allow him to conquer mainland Portugal and have Joseph be a king there.
