  • Napoleon's return from Elba

  • A personal illness

  • Invasion by foreign armies

  • The fall of the Bourbon Restoration

Answer

Napoleon's return from Elba interrupted Louis XVIII's reign for the second time. After his first defeat, Napoleon was exiled to Elba, a small island in the Mediterranean Sea. However, he escaped from Elba and returned to France in 1815. This event, known as the Hundred Days, marked the return of Napoleon to power. He quickly defeated the forces of Louis XVIII, who was forced to flee to Ghent, Belgium.
