Following his defeat by the Sixth Coalition, he was forced to abdicate on April 6, 1814, and was exiled to the island of Elba. France then returned to a monarchy under Louis XVIII, but Napoleon escaped from Elba in 1815, leading to the Hundred Days campaign before his final defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.
