The document discusses Napoleon's rise and fall. It describes his failed plan to invade Britain by sea and his Continental System trade blockade that failed when Britain found new trading partners. Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812 was a disaster, with only 40,000 of his 600,000 troops returning after the Russians burned their own villages. Though Napoleon briefly retook power in 1815, the British and Prussians defeated him at Waterloo, sending him into exile on St. Helena, where he died in 1821.
