napoleon attempted to establish a navy blockade around england with the berlin

True.

The Berlin Decree issued by Napoleon on November 21, 1806, forbade the import of British goods into European countries allied with or dependent upon France, and installed the Continental System in Europe. It eventually led to economic ruin for France, while little happened to the economy of Britain, which had control of the Atlantic Ocean trade. Other European nations removed themselves from the Continental System, which led in part to the downfall of Napoleon.
The Milan decree, which stated that no European country was to trade with the United Kingdom, was issued the next year.
 
true that was the language of the decrees but it was laughable as continental europe had no way of blockading the naval power of the day. it was more a rouse for boney to whip europe into his orbit.. when russia reengaged on the treaty ratified by tilsit ..gulp well we all know what happened..

p.s England? try Britain. it was as rude for the first empire french to refer to us then as England as it is for you now.. stop being racist

learn some politeness
