Definition: Elba and Hundred Days
European countries like England and
Russia formed a new alliance of forces called the
Fourth Coalition. After his defeat in
Russia, Napoleon was banished to the island of
Elba near Italy. Not guarded too tightly, he escaped in 1815
and marched through France's countryside to gather supporters. He
attempted to regain his Empire for about one hundred days. This
attempt ended on June 18, 1815 at the Battle
of Waterloo. Napoleon was banished to the island of
St. Helena in the Atlantic. There, he
died in 1821.
