The Emperor Who Lost Everything in One Final Battle

Napoleon Bonaparte had conquered much of Europe, defeated powerful armies, and built one of the greatest empires of the modern age. But in 1815, everything came down to one final battle. After escaping exile on Elba, Napoleon returned to France and reclaimed his throne during the Hundred Days. He then launched one last campaign against the armies of Britain and Prussia. At Waterloo, Napoleon faced the Duke of Wellington and Gebhard von Blücher in a battle that would decide the fate of his empire. This documentary explores Napoleon’s extraordinary rise, the collapse of his empire, his return from exile, the Waterloo campaign, the final attack of the Imperial Guard, his second abdication, and his exile to Saint Helena.
