Why was the napoleon continental system called the continental system and how was it created?

The Continental System was so named because it aimed to establish a blockade against Britain by prohibiting European nations from trading with the British Isles, effectively creating a unified economic front on the European continent. It was created by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1806 as a response to Britain's naval dominance and to weaken its economy, thereby supporting France's own economic interests. The system sought to extend French influence across Europe and compel nations to align with Napoleon's ambitions, but it ultimately faced significant resistance and proved difficult to enforce.
