The Battle of Waterloo, fought on June 18, 1815, near Waterloo in present-day Belgium, marked the final defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte. It was a pivotal confrontation between the French army, led by Napoleon, and the Allied forces, commanded by the Duke of Wellington and Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. The battle saw intense fighting throughout the day, with both sides sustaining heavy casualties. Ultimately, Wellington's defensive strategies, combined with Blücher's timely arrival with reinforcements, turned the tide against Napoleon, leading to his decisive defeat. The battle ended Napoleon's reign as Emperor of the French and marked the beginning of a new era of European stability under the leadership of the Allied powers.
