Napoleon's Exile (Elba & Saint Helena)
Napoleon Bonaparte, once a powerful French emperor, was exiled twice to prevent him from causing more conflict. In 1814, after losing to coalition forces, he was sent to Elba, a small Italian island, where he had limited freedom but maintained some authority. In 1815, he escaped and briefly regained power during the Hundred Days. Following his final defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, he was exiled again, this time to Saint Helena, a remote South Atlantic island. There, he remained under strict supervision until his death in 1821, ending his influence on European history.
