The Civil Code, metric measures, and the abolition of some feudal residues travelled with French armies. Occupation also meant conscripts and taxes -- the dual export. Britain could not beat Napoleon in 1805-07 on the Elbe; Napoleon could not beat Britain at sea after Trafalgar. The war was a stalemate of elements until 1812 broke the land empire.
