Question

what advantage did Napoleon's Empire have?

Answer 1

Britain had a stronger navy, and also was on the right side of alliance arithmetic, on the other hand napoleon had invaded too many territories and made many enemies and his expedition on russia severely weakened his might.....but his military genius was always an edge the french had

Answer 2

The British had three great advantages: 1. they controlled the seas with their superior navy, 2. they were experiencing the birth of industry and thus were entering into a financially excellent period, 3. they were an island country. Coupled with the navy, they were practically unable to be invaded. It also helped support overseas colonies (which France couldn't do).

Napoleon's empire stretched through all of Europe. Because of the size, he controlled all continental commerce. He had more manpower and was, arguably, a better land based military mind. The army was innovative. They also had a draft ("levee en masse") which pushed the military over the 1% mark, giving them a much stronger army.

Answer 3

firstly supremacy on the seas, After the battle of Trafalga the Royal Navy was unchallenged on the seas for over a hundred years.
Money, becuase of Britains growing empire Britain could afford to fight France in every way, for example funding new coalitions against Napoleon.
Wellington, created a field army that was undefeated, eventually pushing the french out of portugal, spain and into france. it was Wellington who defeated Napoleon at Waterloo

Naploeon's Empire had the advantage of being a dictatorship, allowing him to suffer high casualties and generally do what ever he wished with his country in order to achieve his aims (if Wellington had of taken anything like the number of casualties Napoleon reguarly took the British goverment would have probably brought its army home).
