Who fought Battle of Waterloo?

Answer 1

18 June 1815. Wellington describes it as a 'near run thing', and the French, led by Napoleon were unfortunate in allowing the Prussians to come to Wellingtons aid in the afternoon. Ney & Grouchy are generally blamed for this battles defeat. Had the French won then you can be sure Napoleon would have claimed it as his own, therefore Napoleon must accept his ultimate defeat. Another problem of note for the French, obliged to attack, was the weather. The rain prevented their precipitate positioning of the artillery prior to their attack & delayed the onset of the fighting until late morning of the 18th. By nightfall of a very long, hard fought day the French were defeated, Bluchers' cavalry pursuing them south despite Cambronnes' memorable (Alleged) quote !

Answer 2

You had the British who were commanded by Duke Wellington. These troops also consisted of Hanoverian units under the Prince of Orange. Wellington did not feel that the Hanoverian troops were capable of offensive action and so he adopted a defensive stance. Then there were the Prussians who were commanded by Field Marshal Blucher. They arrived later in the battle and were pivotal in Napoleons defeat. And lastly you have the French, commanded by Emperor Napoleon. You also had a contingent commanded by Marshal Grouchy, who was to keep the Prussians occupied, in which he failed miserably. Hope this helps
