WHY WAS WATERLOO THE END OF NAPOLEON’S RULE? NAPOLEAN WAS SO GOOD HE CONVINCED THE ARMY AND THE COUNTRY TO TAKE HIM BACK. SUCKERS!!!! SO HE ATTACKS THE BRITISH (HIS ENEMY) IN WATERLOO, BELGIUM. IMAGINE THIS HE WAS DEFEATED AGAIN. SO THEY SENT HIM FARTHER AWAY THIS TIME TO AN ISLAND IN ATLANTIC CALLED ST HELENA.

St. Helena in Perspective The choice of St. Helena was no coincidence. Unlike Elba, this island was not to be as pleasant a location. In the middle of the South Atlantic, thousands of kilometers from any major land-mass, escape was now virtually impossible. It was here that Napoleon was to die in 1821

Napoleon’s Death Some think Napoleon died of cancer. Others think he died from toxic fumes from the wallpaper in the house he spent the last 6 years of his life. (Arsenic)
