But when he got to the port at Rochefort, the British Royal Navy was blocking him. He was trapped. It was agreed that Napoleon would surrender to the British. on July 15, 1815 in the very early nours on the morning Napoleon prepared to turn himselt over. He put on his green campaign uniform and at 4 am he boarded the ship which would take him to the HMS Bellerophon.

Hahaha! Napoleon is complaining about the British abandoning their honor? That’s rich coming from a man who broke his word of honor when in exile the first time and went on to cause the battle at Waterloo. Frankly, he was lucky that he wasn’t executed for his actions during the last 20 years! Of course, execution would’ve made him a martyr to many of his people, and that was the last thing that Europe and England needed. It’s interesting how narcissistic leaders can cause untold death and destruction but refuse to take responsibility for their actions that caused all the damage in the first place. Thanks for the wonderful videos! I only wish that there were even more to watch!💚
