Menton was surprised by the fate of Napoleon and his army because he had expected their return from exile to be triumphant, given Napoleon's past successes and the loyalty of his soldiers. The sudden decline of the army's morale and the rapid defections of key supporters caught him off guard. Additionally, the overwhelming opposition from the European powers, who were united against Napoleon, highlighted the changing political landscape that he had not anticipated. This unexpected turn of events ultimately led to Napoleon's downfall and exile once again.
