The final defeat of Napoleon was in 1815. At Waterloo in Belgium on June 18, 1815, Napoleon met a combined British and a Prussian army under the Duke of Wellington and suffered a bloody defeat. This time, the victorious allies exiled him to St. Helena, a small island in the South Atlantic. Only Napoleon's memory would continue to haunt French political life.
