He returned to France in what is known as the Hundred Days and was decisively defeated at the Battle of Waterloo in Belgium on June 18, 1815, being exiled by the British to the island of St. Helena where he died.
Napoleon is considered one of the greatest military geniuses in history, having commanded military campaignsvery successful, albeit with some losses equally noisy. His aggressive wars of conquest became the greatest wars known so far in Europe, involving a number of soldiers in the armies ever seen then. In addition to these military prowess, Napoleon also called for the establishment of the Napoleonic Code and is considered by some an "enlightened monarch" because of his extraordinary talent and ability to work. Others, however, regard it as a tyrannical dictator whose wars have killed millions of people, and one of the most megalomaniacal and harmful of all time [4].
He is considered the key character that marked the beginning of the nineteenth century and the subsequent evolution of contemporary Europe.
