Napoleon Exiled to Elba — First Abdication
Napoleon signed the Treaty of Fontainebleau, abdicating the French throne unconditionally after the Allied powers refused to negotiate. He was given sovereignty over the tiny island of Elba in the Mediterranean. He wept as he bid farewell to his Old Guard.
Napoleon's exile to Elba lasted only ten months before he escaped, returned to France, and launched the Hundred Days campaign that ended at Waterloo.
Outcome
Napoleon exiled; returns 10 months later; final exile after Waterloo
