When did Napolean defeat Waterloo?
Napoleon did not defeat Waterloo. Waterloo is a town in Belgium where Napoleon was defeated by the Seventh Coalition in June 1815. The majority of the forces at Waterloo comprised the British Army under the Duke of Wellington, and Prussian army under Gebhard von Blucher (however Blucher's forces were marching to join up with the British). Napoleon realised he had to fight the British before the Prussians linked up with them and they became insurmountable. Ultimately Blucher's Prussians arrived just in time to break Napoleon's right flank and rout his forces after some resolute fighting from an outnumbered British army with their coalition allies (including the United Netherlands, Hanover, Brunswick and Nassau). Napoleon abdicated and was exiled to St. Helena where he died in 1821, never to disturb the peace in Europe again. Wellington called it - "the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life."

Did Napoleon lose the Battle of Waterloo because he was unsure of his troops?
No, I do not think that is the case. Quite simply he has the force to defeat what opposes him: Wellington. Despite the weather, and the lack of mobility this means for the artillery. He has ample cavalry & plenty of infantry. What he does not have is the force to defeat the British & the Prussians, but he has detached Marshal Grouchy to keep the Prussians at bay.... Has anyone seen Grouchy ?? No: I am not blaming Grouchy... Napoleon had no Plan B.....

What is the story behind he met his Waterloo?
In February, 1815, Napoleon left the island of Elba with the goal of retaking France. He did so in just a matter of weeks, causing King Louis XVIII to flee. Great Britain, Prussia, Austria, and Russia joined together to remove the threat posed by Napoleon. Great Britain and Prussia had their armies in the field by May while Austria and Russia had mobilized and were on the move. Napoleon intended to defeat the British and the Prussians before Austria and Russia could arrive. He moved his forces toward Waterloo. The Duke of Wellington was awaiting the arrival of the Prussians under Marshal Bleucher von Wahlstatt at Waterloo. On Sunday, June 18, 1815 Wellington adopted a strong defense to deal with Napoleon's brilliance in the offense. When Napoleon attacked in the early afternoon Wellington had his troops well beyond the range of the French cannons, and counterattacked the French infantry. While Napoleon's force regrouped, the Prussians arrived and turned the tide, causing Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. On June 22, 1815 Napoleon once again abdicated his throne and never returned to power. The phrase "met his Waterloo," means to meet one's end or to be defeated.
