327As the War of the Sixth Coalition closed in Napoleon faced another heavy loss during his invasion of Russia in 1812 This left his army weak and all Napoleon could do now was wait and prepare for the Russians in Paris When the news of Napoleon s heavy losses spread Prussia Sweden and Austria joined back with Britain and Russia to for the Sixth Coalition Napoleon gathered a new army of 400 000 which lead to huge amounts of warfare with the Coalition in Germany As Napoleon lost grip of Germany the Coalition moved into France to start the Six Day Campaign Napoleon fought hard within his borders and won multiple confrontations with the Coalition Even Napoleon s best efforts to fend for the Coalition wasn t enough and as a result he was thrown from power and exiled on the island of Elba The War of the Seventh Coalition occurred due to Napoleon's escape from exile this led to what was known as the Hundred Days Napoleon compiled another army in hopes to attack the Coalition before it had time to form together With all the powers coming together and Napoleon s limited time it was clear that the end for Napoleon was coming soon Napoleon's last attempt ended at Waterloo and after being captured he was exiled once more to a South Atlantic island where he passed away in May of 1821 To conclude it can be reasonably stated that Napoleonic Wars were a series of conflicts that would change the future of the nations that took part forever It can also be inferred that Napoleon was one of the most successful and powerful war generals of his time up until his fall from power His quick fighting style and strategic planning led him to an array of victories against the Coalitions that would reshape the world during the nineteenth century
