Napolean encouraged the European cultivation of sugar beets as a way to combat a British blockage on imported sugar from the West Indies. The process of extracting sugar from beets was devised by the German chemist Andreas Marggraf in 1747. The first beet sugar factory opened in Silesia (modern day Poland) in 1802. In 1811, during the blockade, Napolean’s influence helped establish 40 beet sugar factories in France.
