What reading level is A Brief History of Europe From 1789-1815 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His continental blockade was a two-edged sword : it cut his friends as well as his enemies. The once busy and prosperous Hanseatic towns were idle and the people driven to despair by the cessation of trade and the imposition of heavy taxes. Russia, which had long exported its grain, timber, and furs, and had imported British manufactured goods, especially cloths, found herself facing huge annual deficits with no prospect of relief. Swedish and Danish ships rotted at their idle wharves. In every... state of Europe, except in a few isolated cases where smuggling proved profitable or where the blockade operated as a kind of protective wall for special native industries, the continental system was choking all economic life and causing intense distress and dissatisfaction.
One breach in his great system existed, and had existed since 1808, in Portugal, but, as has been explained, this was not regarded as vital. To this was added, however, at the very end of 1810 a second breach which, if permitted, meant the ruin of his whole vast system.
