It means to meet ones final crushing defeat.
The defeat of Napoleon, Emperor of France, at Waterloo in Belgium, was his final defeat. The battle was on the 18th June 1815, and British and Allied forces under Wellington, almost exactly matched against the attacking French, withstood Napoleon's attacks all day, until Prince Bluecher of Prussia arrived in the evening. The Prussians had thrown off another pursuing French army, and the combined weight of the British, Allied and Prussian forces crushed Napoleon's main army by the end of the day.
