After his Waterloo defeat, Napoleon knew he was in danger. He quickly abdicated and appealed to Great Britain for protection. Britain accommodated Napoleon’s request although not at the “hearth of the British people” in England as he had envisioned, but on the remote British-owned South Atlantic Ocean island of St. Helena, a natural fortress. From his arrival in 1815 to his death in 1821 Napoleon impacted the British citizens, while life on the island became Napoleon’s “last battle.”

This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
