In October 1813, a prematurely detonated bridge over the Elster River at Leipzig sealed the fate of the French Empire. Twenty thousand soldiers were cut off in an instant. The Battle of Nations — Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Sweden combined against Napoleon — had turned a defeat into a catastrophe. This episode charts the harrowing arc from that burning city all the way to the audacious gamble of the Hundred Days.
The retreat from Leipzig cost roughly seventy thousand casualties. France itself had changed: years of conscription, taxation, and war had hollowed out public support, and Napoleon's own marshals began making quiet calculations about the future. Yet the 1814 campaign on French soil stands as perhaps his most brilliant defensive performance — winning at Champaubert, Montmirail, and Vauchamps in rapid sequence — before Paris fell and the marshals, led by Ney, told him the army would march no further.
Exiled to the island of Elba in May 1814, Napoleon did not rest. He reformed the mines, built roads, drilled his tiny garrison, and watched as the restored Bourbon monarchy stumbled. When reports confirmed that France was souring on Louis XVIII, he made a decision that was rationally indefensible and utterly characteristic: he would return.
On March 1, 1815, he landed near Cannes with a thousand soldiers. Troops sent to stop him defected. Marshal Ney, who had promised to bring Napoleon back in an iron cage, rejoined his old commander. By March 20, Napoleon was back in Paris. The Hundred Days had begun — and all of Europe was mobilising to end them.
