Napoleon Forced to Abdicate

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

In the final video about the rise, height of power, and fall of Napoleon, Sal details the last historic battles before the Sixth Coalition forces the powerful leader to abdicate and eventually into exile. The presentation uses maps, paintings, and a particularly interesting photograph of the house in Elba to which Napoleon is exiled. The installment of Louis XVIII as King after the removal of Napoleon will surely inspire some discussion in class as to the efficiency of the French Revolution.
