His empire of France never really collapsed, but Napoleon's reign was ended after #1 his failed attempt to annex Russia during winter, a failure also made by Hitler, where Napoleon lost 50,000 some to freezing temperatures and starvation. #2 His failing Continental System to diminish Britain after he could not conquer their navy he cut off Europe's trade to them, however it didn't affect them. After a series of defeats Napoleon stepped down and was exiled to Elba, however he returned and ruled for 100 days but was finally defeated at the Battle of Waterloo by the Duke of Wellington. He then was exiled to St. Helena, far in the South Atlantic, where he remained until his death. After his death the congress of Vienna, a meeting of Europe's leaders, met and redrew the borders of Europe returning land, and installed new systems to prevent someone like Napoleon over taking again.

So Napoleon's empire didn't really collapse, it's "collapse" happened mostly before his reign. Yet Napoleon left many lasting reforms upon France.

What aspect of Napoleon's character or personality do you think was the most responsible for the collapse of his empire?

Napoleon was a very motivated and powerful emperor who was not content on being master of France, but wanted to be Master of the World. I think that is because he was so power hungry. If he had just been content with controlling France, their would have been no conflict and the empire wouldn't have fallen.
