BATTLE OF WATERLOO
18th June 1815

After Napoleon's return from Elba and the start of his last 100 days of
rule,he quickly assembled a new army and advanced into Belgium to face the
Prussian army under Blucher and the British army unedr Wellington. He won
two quick battles at Quatre Bras and Ligny, splitting the Prussians and
British. he then advanced and met the British at Waterloo. The day was an
affair of bloody French frontal infantry assaults and unsupported French
cavalry charges. The British lines wavered but held firm, whilst the
Prussians returned and started to pressure the French right wing. The French
army sent in a final attack of the Imperial Old Guard to crack the British
line. But for once these veterans failed and the French and Napoleon lost
the battle.
