Best Answer

The biggest mistake was the invasion of Russia; the corollary of that was the failure to tak his main army to Spain. The first resulted in the loss of a vast army, the uniting of his continental enemies and the campaign of France; the second left Wellington free to defeat the Marshals and invade France from the south.
