Following his defeat at Waterloo, Napoleon raced back to Paris to rally more political support but was instead forced to abdicate. Attempting to flee to the United States, Napoleon soon fell into British hands and was exiled to the remote South Atlantic island of Saint Helena. Meanwhile, the Prussian and Anglo-allied armies chased the retreating French forces back into France, securing the surrender of Paris in early July.
