1814

Bonaparte banished to Elba

1814 is the year that follows 1813 and precedes 1815.

Like any four-digit year, it functions as a noun identifying a point in time: The treaty was signed in 1814.

Years appear in dates, historical references, and timestamps.

When spoken aloud, 1814 is typically "eighteen fourteen."
