@wolfgang59 saidFunny that... I thought the facts determined right or wrong.
Right or wrong I'll decide who is right or wrong!

@ghost-of-a-duke saidHe abdicated once and was exiled once.
I seem to recall Napoleon abdicated more than once.
(I was there).
If we could have Trump exiled after eight, I might be more amenable to him winning a second term.
@suzianne saidWith Ghostly certainty, Napoleon abdicated twice and was exiled twice (First Elba and then Saint Helena).

Easy mistake to make. (But bad quiz preparation).

ANSWERS
1. 1814
Napoleon Bonaparte abdicated in 1814 prior to his exile to Elba.
(Although he "abdicated" again a few days after Waterloo it is debatable it is
valid because he was never officially recognised as Emperor - indeed the
people and provisional government turned against him prior to his abdication -
nevertheless, 1815 was not an option so the only answer was 1814.)
2. 1998
Up until 1998 capital punishment was still in theory available as punishment for treason.
3. 27 BCE
Everyone seems to have got that. Many people assume it was earlier but of course Rome was a Republic prior to that and originally a kingdom.
4. 800
I have a vague idea of the order of historical events but I'm not good with dates.
I can remember nice round numbers!
