Battle of Waterloo
|
|
On June 18, 1815, Napoleon led his 72,000-strong army into battle with 120,000 mostly British and Prussian soldiers on the fields near the Belgian village of Waterloo, about 9 miles (14 kilometres) south of Brussels. The battle ended 23 years of recurrent warfare between France and the other powers of Europe.
Napoleon had about 74,000 mean against Wellington's 67,000.
Napoleon was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo and so ended his power in Europe |
