How the Most Powerful Man in Europe Lost Everything

Notas do episódio

After defeating nearly every army in Europe, Napoleon Bonaparte stood at the peak of his power. Kings feared him. Emperors negotiated with him. Europe seemed to belong to France. Then everything began to unravel. From the famous meeting on a raft with Tsar Alexander I and the Treaty of Tilsit, to the disastrous Peninsular War, the invasion of Russia, the burning of Moscow, Waterloo, and his lonely death on Saint Helena — this is the complete story of Napoleon's spectacular rise and dramatic fall.
