He would say that the Peninsular War was the starting place of his eventual defeat. His defeat in the Invasion of Russia must be considered a major defeat in terms of "Body Bag" numbers. The Battle of Leipzig involved the largest numbers of men on a battlefield before World War One. Napoleon lost fifteen generals at Leipzig and had an additional 51 wounded in action. Napoleon never served on Haiti, but the deaths there were staggering and often the numbers never appear because they were slaves.

At Waterloo, of all places, a town in Flanders (part of Belgium). Since then the word "waterloo" has been used to metaphorically to describe other falls from greatness.
