Best Answer

The French Army was in disarray and disorder. Wellington was able to invade France. Marshal Grouchy had his orders from Napoleon to attack Wavre which he followed to the letter. The British had the ports blockaded and Napoleon had no force available to resist and no route of escape available. The time had arrived to throw in the towel.

After his defeat at Waterloo, Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled to a military prison on the island of St. Helena in the southern Atlantic Ocean, where he was guarded by a couple of thousand British troops, with a small squadron of warships patrolling the nearby seas to prevent his escape.
