Historical artwork depicting the Battle of Battle of Waterloo

The Battle of Waterloo ended Napoleon's rule as French Emperor and his Hundred Days return from exile. The Duke of Wellington's allied forces, combined with Prussian reinforcements under Blücher, defeated Napoleon's army in a hard-fought engagement. This decisive victory reshaped European politics and led to Napoleon's final exile to Saint Helena, where he died six years later.

💡 Le saviez-vous ?

Napoleon spent his final exile on Saint Helena reading about Waterloo, and reportedly blamed Marshal Grouchy for not arriving in time with reinforcements rather than accepting any personal fault.
