Answer
The key figure behind Germaine de Staël's exile was Napoleon. His disapproval of her political views and literary influence, particularly through her famous work "De l'Allemagne," led him to deem her a threat to his power. As a result, Germaine de Staël faced restrictions on her movements and was forced to leave France, living in various European countries during her time in exile.
