vote instead of each estate having only 1 vote Louis did not like the 3rd estate’s idea Louis kicked the 3rd estate out of the meetings

symbol of the power and unfairness of the French government
July 14, 1789: French citizens stormed the prison to get weapons to defend the National Assembly from a possible attack

Napoleon tried to use economic warfare against the British—Continental System
All nations controlled by France would end trade with Great Britain
No British goods were allowed to enter Europe through French controlled ports
![Page 64: French Revolution](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681625c550346895dd2ada8/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

GB responded saying all ships going into Europe had to stop at a British port 1st
This squabble hurt the United States since we were trading with both nations
Napoleon’s Continental System FAILED

Many of the nations controlled by Napoleon did not like sending taxes to France and fighting in Napoleon’s wars
Many in Europe started feeling nationalism
Nations wanted to rule themselves, not be under Napoleon’s control
Many nations under Napoleon’s control started to rebel
