Napoleon's Military Campaigns and Exile

In 1812, Napoleon assembled a 600,000-strong army to attack Russia, while the Russian army had about 200,000 troops.
The campaign led to the Battle of Borodino, a narrow French victory, and the subsequent devastating retreat from Moscow, during which about 500,000 of Napoleon's troops died, deserted, or were captured.
After his return from Russia, Napoleon faced a hostile alliance of Austria, the United Kingdom, Russia, Prussia, and Sweden.
Following initial victories, Napoleon was defeated at the Battle of Leipzig in October 1813 and subsequently retreated into France.
Napoleon abdicated in 1814 and was exiled to the island of Elba off the northwest coast of Italy.
In 1815, Napoleon returned to France, leading to the period known as the Hundred Days, during which he was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo.
Napoleon surrendered and was sent to the British island of St. Helena, where he died in 1821.
In 1840, his remains were brought to Paris and laid to rest at the Église du Dôme (Church of the Dome).
Napoleon was a significant military commander, but he has been portrayed as a power-hungry conqueror, despite his efforts to build a federation of free peoples in a united Europe under a liberal government.
He granted constitutions, introduced law codes, abolished feudal obligations, created efficient governments, and fostered education, science, literature, and the arts in the states he created.
Napoleon's life and legacy have inspired great writers, filmmakers, and playwrights, contributing to the creation of the Napoleonic legend.
His actions and intentions have sparked debate, as he concentrated power in his own hands while aiming to unite Europe under a liberal government.
