Final answer:

Napoleon was exiled to the island of St. Helena after his defeat at Waterloo in 1815, where he remained until his death in 1821.

Step-by-step explanation:

After his final defeat by British and Prussian forces in June 1815, Napoleon was imprisoned on the island of St. Helena in the South Atlantic.

Following the Battle of Waterloo, this remote location was chosen by the British as Napoleon's place of exile due to its isolated position and the unlikelihood of escape. Napoleon lived there under strict supervision until his death in 1821.
