Napoleon III's foreign policy led to the end of his reign, as opposed to his domestic projects like his economic expansion, industrialization, public works, and support of the arts.

Specifically, Napoleon III's choice to give in to German taunts and get involved in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871 was what ended his reign. Early in the war, he and his army were captured in the Battle of Sedan. Napoleon III became a prisoner of war and the Third French Republic was declared in his absence.

What was the reign of nepoleon ll callede?

Napoleon II, also known as the King of Rome, never officially reigned as emperor. He was proclaimed emperor by his father, Napoleon Bonaparte, in 1815 during the Hundred Days after Napoleon's return from exile, but his reign was very brief and largely symbolic. After Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, Napoleon II was taken to Austria and lived there until his death in 1832. Thus, his reign is often referred to as a "phantom reign" or "symbolic reign" due to its lack of political power or independence.
