Napoleon is considered one of the most ambitious and successful military leaders in European history, but he wasn't always victorious. After losing several battles in 1814, he was forced to abdicate his throne as emperor and was then exiled to a sparsely populated island near Tuscany called Elba. But while the coalition countries divvied up Europe, he quietly plotted his escape in a campaign that became known as the 100 Days War. #wikisleep #wikisleeppodcast #napoleon
