Napoleon's first words on entering the Senate,…

November 1813 CE

Napoleon's first words on entering the Senate, after his return to Paris from the battle disaster, sad and low in mood, are, "A year ago all Europe marched with us; today all Europe marches against us."

While most of his troops desert even before crossing the French border, resulting in further destruction of his army, some others hurry back to France to begin what will be a hard-fought defense until the early spring of 1814.

French forces will not enter Germany again until the occupation of Saarbrücken region during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870.
