The Napoleonic era featured several significant battles, including the Battle of Austerlitz (1805), where Napoleon achieved a decisive victory against the Austro-Russian forces. The Battle of Waterloo (1815) marked Napoleon's final defeat, leading to his exile. Other notable battles include the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), which established British naval supremacy, and the Battle of Leipzig (1813), also known as the Battle of Nations, where a coalition of forces defeated Napoleon. These battles were pivotal in shaping European politics during and after Napoleon's reign.
Napoleon was first defeated at the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, also known as the Battle of Nations. This coalition of forces was commanded by Prince Karl Schwarzenberg of Austria, along with other leaders from Russia, Prussia, and Sweden. The defeat marked a significant turning point in the Napoleonic Wars, leading to the eventual downfall of Napoleon.
Under Napoleon as a general, the French fought a prolonged war against the First Coalition, primarily engaging with Austria and its allies during the War of the First Coalition from 1795 to 1796. This conflict was marked by significant battles in Italy, where Napoleon's strategic brilliance helped secure decisive victories for the French forces, ultimately leading to the Treaty of Campo Formio in 1797.
Napoleon's attack at the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815, resulted in a decisive defeat for his forces against the combined armies of the Duke of Wellington and Prussian General Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. This loss marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars and led to Napoleon's abdication and subsequent exile to the island of Saint Helena. The defeat at Waterloo solidified the coalition's victory over Napoleon and restored the balance of power in Europe.
During World War II, the importance of the naval supremacy of the Allies can hardly be over-stated. It enabled the Allies to maintain secure supply-lines, which allowed their military forces to remain in top condition against the increasingly worn-down Axis forces. It forced the Axis to maintain occupation troops in all important coastal areas. It also added greater firepower to many battles, as the big guns of their ships could be brought close to the shore and directed against enemy ground-forces.
Most were small in both population and economics and required allies to face France in battle.
Upon Napoleon's return to Paris in 1815 and the escape of King Louis XVIII, he actually hoped that the Allies would acquiesce in his resumption of power in France. He did not realize that a week earlier, the Allies planned to join forces and go to war against France and their new leader, Napoleon.
He joined forces with Germany in WWII against the US and allies

This question needs work. A war is not given, allies are friends so you don't go to war against them , and years are needed. Please rewrite.

Napoleon was ultimately defeated at Waterloo in 1815 by the British with the (not inconsiderable) aid of Prussia. However this does nothing to mention what had happened at Wagram, Aspern-Essling, Borodino or Leipzig & elsewhere in previous times & in previous campaigns. Indeed many of Wellingtons allied forces at Waterloo had fought for Napoleon in previous years. Napoleon had run out of friends on the battlefield. No Saxons, Bavarians, Wurttembergers to do his bidding any more. Britain had been constant in opposition, but it was the loss of his continental allies which made the difference.

Bavaria; The Confederation of the Rhine; Saxony; Wurtemberg; The Grand Duchy of Warsaw; All of the above, some more willingly than others, supplied forces for the Grande Armee. Therefore as many were German as were French. Therefore their loyalty to the Emperor was increasingly dubious and some changed sides. For example Hanau in 1813 was a Battle fought by Napoleon against his former Bavarian Allies. Nassauers & others, some Dutch, for example, had fought for Napoleon before aiding the British, numerically at least , fighting with Welington at Waterloo. This may well have been the case with Bluchers Prussian Forces, but I do not know if this is fact.
Napoleon Bonaparte's empire came to an end in 1815. The two forces for this fall in power were the Britain and Russian military forces.
They were called the Allied Forces, or simply, Allies.
