Napoleon's Hundred Days
March 20, 1815
Having escaped Elba on a fast brig, Napoleon landed in France, gathered troops who refused to arrest him, and marched into Paris as Louis XVIII fled. For a hundred days the old empire was back. The coalition declared him an outlaw and mobilized. Waterloo was three months away, and the Napoleonic age had its last, theatrical coda.
