Napoleon's military genius and leadership helped him to rapidly ascend in the ranks of the military during the final years of the First French Republic. He helped win France victories wherever he went, and was eventually coronated as Emperor of France. Napoleon's Empire gathered enemies from all of Europe, sparking the Napoleonic Wars. Different nations, including England, Austria, and other superpowers around Europe opposed to the French Empire banded together in Coalitions to defeat the Emperor. After many victories over the European powers, Napoleon invaded Russia, a disastrous decision, as it led to a slow retreat. From then on, Napoleon's power began to weaken, and he was defeated at the Battle of Leipzig. Napoleon was then exiled to the island of Elba. Napoleon, however, did not give up very quickly and made a hasty return to France. After the "Hundred Days," Napoleon was again defeated by the Duke of Wellington at Waterloo and sent to exile, this time to the deeply isolated island of Saint Helena, where he died of stomach cancer.
