What was Napoleon's Continental System and how did his plan with it backfire?

It was a series of forced treaties that gave Napoleon control of Europe's governments, but facilitated those nations allying against him.

• It was an army composed of soldiers from all over Europe raised to invade Russia but instead rebelled and left Napoleon without an army.
• It was an economic embargo designed to hurt the British but ended up doing more damage to France than to Britain.
• It was a series of laws forcing French culture onto conquered nations in an attempt at consolidating

Napoleon's rule, but instead generated resentment and rebellion that he had to spend resources on to put down.

The group that was established to find "enemies" of the revolution and executed thousands of innocent French citizens was:

The Committee of Public Safety

The Sans-culottes

The National Assemblv

The Directory

The instability of the Directory and their increasing reliance on the military for support paved the way for Napoleon's ascension to power.
