After Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from exile on the island of Elba, he landed in southern France and soon rallied support.
As soon as news of his escape was sent to his enemies, (most of the other states of Europe), they reformed their armies, much of which was back in their own countries.
The nearest enemies of Napoleon were the army of Prussia and the combined army of the Low Countries and Britain.
As soon as he had formed a large enough force, Napoleon moved towards the Low Countries hoping to destroy the two armies before they could combine.
The Prussian Army under Marshal Blucher was attacked at Ligny while the Duke of Wellington was still trying to consolidate his army and the Prussians were defeated, (but not decisively), and forced to withdraw. Part of Wellingtons' force was able to divert part of the French army from attacking the Prussians enabling his allies to withdraw in a more orderly fashion.
Next day, Wellingtons' combined army was able to assemble near the village of Waterloo to face the French and was able to hold on long enough for Blucher to re-appear on Napoleons' right flank and deliver the decisive blow against him.
