Napoleon's demise was a much a diplomatic failure as a military failure and 
arises more as a result of Talleyrand's betrayal then Metternich's 
implacable opposition and scheming. Talleyrand is considered by many as one 
of the people most responsible for what is now known as World War I (the 
first Europeon Civil War of the 20th century).

 

Napoleon's description of Talleyrand as 'shit in silk stockings' was right 
on the mark.
