Excerpt from The Three Germanys, Vol. 2: Glimpses Into Their History

The Continental System not only struck a heavy blow at England, but weighed ruinously upon other countries. Denmark, Russia, even Austria, were compelled to adopt it. Nearly all the ports of Europe were closed against British vessels. Portugal refused, and ordered her fleet to Brazil, out of Napoleon's reach. The imperious dictator sent an army under J unot, and occupied Lisbon. The prince-regent, the queen, and the court fled, and Napoleon declared the House of Braganza had ceased to reign.
