In France and Italy from 1814 to 1838. The royalists and Bonapartes competed to put King Louis and Napoleon on the throne of French rule. Napoleon escaped from the island of Erba and returned to Paris to establish the Hundred Days, which resulted in the defeat at the Battle of Waterloo and Louis ascending the French throne.
