After his loss at the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled to which island?

The story behind the answer

St. Helena is correct because, after his defeat at Waterloo in 1815, Napoleon surrendered to the British and was sent to this remote South Atlantic island to prevent any chance of a comeback. Its isolation—over 1,200 miles from Africa—made escape or rescue nearly impossible. He lived there under guard until his death in 1821.

Helpful context: Napoleon had previously been exiled to Elba (1814) but escaped and briefly returned to power during the “Hundred Days,” which ended at Waterloo. Corsica was his birthplace, not an exile site, and the Canary Islands were never used for him. Memory tip: “Second exile after Waterloo? Saintly seclusion—St. Helena.”
