On 22 June 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte abdicated again - This was the last episode of the 'flight of the eagle' lasting 100 days. It began with Napoleon's landing in Juan Bay on 20 March 1815. After a rapid march without a single gunshot, the former emperor managed to take control of France and return to Paris, previously abandoned by King Louis XVIII. Despite the promulgation of a liberal constitution on 22 April, hostile states (including England, Russia, Prussia and Austria) declared war on him in order to prevent him from taking over Europe again. Napoleon created a new army and at its head, anticipating the movements of the coalition partners, he beat the Prussians on 16 June at Ligny in Belgium. Two days later, however, he succumbed to the combined Anglo-Prussian forces at Waterloo and was forced to retreat to France. Due to elite opposition, he was forced to abdicate, which he signed on 22 June 1815. source: historykon.pl
