Question

died in battle.
was captured, tried, and executed.
was exiled to Elba for the rest of his life.
was exiled, returned, and was exiled again.

Answer 1

D. Was exiled, returned, and was exiled again.

The invasion of Russia effectively halted Napoleon's march across Europe, and resulted in his first exile, to the Mediterranean island of Elba. In March 1815, he escaped his island exile and returned to Paris, where he regained supporters and reclaimed his emperor title, Napoleon I. He abdicated for a second time and was exiled to the remote island of Saint Helena, in the southern Atlantic Ocean, where he lived out the rest of his days.
