Napoleon took with him around 1,000 people when he was exiled to Elba in 1814. This group included soldiers, servants, and a few loyal officials. His entourage allowed him to maintain a semblance of his former imperial court during his time on the island.

What is the hundred days and where did it take place?

The Hundred Days refers to the period between Napoleon Bonaparte's return from exile on March 20, 1815, until his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815. This time marked Napoleon's brief restoration of power in France after he escaped from Elba. The term encapsulates his final campaign to regain control over Europe, ultimately leading to his exile to Saint Helena.


Should Napoleon be returned to Elba or sent to St Helena?

Napoleon wasn't given the choice. Waterloo was, in the end, a crushing defeat for the French. A recovery, in military terms, despite the lack of damage to the relatively unengaged force commanded by Marshal Grouchy, was never really an option. The pursuit after the battle, particularly by the vengeful Prussian cavalry had been quite effective. The Monarchy was going to be re-established in France no matter what Napoleon wanted. Having broken his parole the 'Emperor of Elba' was in no position to dictate terms. I think it is probable he did not know of his fate when he boarded HMS Bellerephon, which took him to his lonely fate. I do not know just who made the decision to take him there....... & none of this removes him from his place in History: Vive l'Empereur !
