Best Answer

Napoleon did not defeat Waterloo. Waterloo is a town in Belgium where Napoleon was defeated by the Seventh Coalition in June 1815. The majority of the forces at Waterloo comprised the British Army under the Duke of Wellington, and Prussian army under Gebhard von Blucher (however Blucher's forces were marching to join up with the British). Napoleon realised he had to fight the British before the Prussians linked up with them and they became insurmountable. Ultimately Blucher's Prussians arrived just in time to break Napoleon's right flank and rout his forces after some resolute fighting from an outnumbered British army with their coalition allies (including the United Netherlands, Hanover, Brunswick and Nassau). Napoleon abdicated and was exiled to St. Helena where he died in 1821, never to disturb the peace in Europe again. Wellington called it - "the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life."
