Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769 in Corsica. He
agreed with the French Revolution, and the execution of
King Louis XVI.
In 1804 Napoleon became Emperor of France and by 1807
France had large Empire in Europe. But then Napoleon
became unpopular. In 1812 he sent his army into Russia,
where the hard winter killed many of his soldiers. In 1814
he lost the battle of Leipzig and was exiled to the island of
Elba in the Mediterranean off the coast of Italy.
After that the royalists, the supporters to the monarchy,
made Louis XVI’s brother, Louis XVIII, the new king of
France. Louis XVI’s son, Louis XVII, had died as a boy in
prison.
Early in 1815 Napoleon escaped from Elba and returned to
France. The French army welcomed him as the Emperor of
France and Louis XVIII left Paris.
Later Napoleon lost the battle of Waterloo. He was
banished to the island of Saint Helena in the south Atlantic
and Louis XVIII returned to Paris. Napoleon died on Saint
Helena six years later.
