The Seventh Coalition were in the process of gathering their Armies together to march on Paris. The Russian Army had not yet arrived and it was essential for Napoleon to defeat them one at a time before the force was combined and became unstoppable (When combined it would exceed 600,000 troops.)
Napoleon had been named an outlaw by the Congress of Vienna and the Coalition was determined to end Napoleon and the Napoleonic Wars. This they accomplished by Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.
the duke of wellington was the commander that helped win the war
he decided to invade Russia, this is where he lost half his army due to cold and starvation, he tried to rebuild his forces, then he declared war on Great Britain, he went to waterloo in Belgium to meet with the Army of the Duke of Wellington, this is where he was defeated, after that, the French lost all faith in him, and sent him into exile.
Napoleon of France made a lot of contributions. Frequent war at the expense of the French people did a lot of harm, because his ambition has led to the coalition of many European countries. Most people died of War, and Napoleon himself would like to think that everything should be resolved by force, so that Napoleon ambitions increased.
Sorry. I thought Austrian, not Australian.
Napoleon cleaverly agreed to Macons Bill saying he would end Impressent of U.S. Ships and Sailors. This would cause more tensions to grow leading to the War of 1812. Napoleon didnt stop impressment when he said he would though.
Of course! From 1803 to 1815 Britain remained at war the entire Napoleonic War period. Britain's Duke of Wellington also played a major role in the Battle of Waterloo in which Napoleon was finally defeated.
Napoleon was finally defeated in 1815, at the Battle of Waterloo. The allied forces was led by the 1st Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley.

The correct answer is the Prussian army of Gebhard von Blucher, and the Anglo-Allied army of the Duke of Wellington as the victors, and Napoleon Bonaparte (the French dictator) and his top general Michael Ney along with the French army as the defeated.
Napoleon was not defeated by one country. Although he was defeated and exiled earlier, he escaped and was ultimately defeated at the Battle of Waterloo by the Duke of Wellington (the British) and by von Blucher (a Prussian). There were also soldiers of varying European nationalities fighting, most notably the Dutch (Netherlands). Keep in mind that Napoleon's forces were mostly French and also the battle took place in June of 1815. Not World War 2 (as you stated in your category).
It was called the Peninsular War and was a part of the larger Napoleonic Wars. It was fought by Spain and her allies England and Portugal.
