c) Sending him to exile in St. Helena
d) Restoring French monarchs back to power

Answer 1

The British ended Napoleon's reign by exiling him to St. Helena following his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.

Step-by-step explanation:

The British ensured the end of Napoleon's reign by sending him to exile in St. Helena after his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. As the leader of France, Napoleon had a series of military campaigns across Europe and even attempted to establish an economic blockade against Great Britain known as the 'Continental System.'

Napoleon faced significant military setbacks despite these efforts, including a disastrous attempt to invade Russia and his ultimate defeat at Waterloo. The British and their allies, determined to prevent any further disruption from Napoleon, exiled him first to Elba and, after his escape and brief return to power, ultimately to St. Helena in the South Atlantic, where he lived out the remainder of his life.
