Continental Blockade

The Continental Blockade was a blocking of European ports for trade with England. It was declared by Napoleon in November, 1806. The blockade did not have the intended result of breaking English power but instead created a shortage of colonial products on the continent. One of these was sugar from sugarcane. As a result the sugar beet spread over Europe as a new resource of sugar.
