The Battle of Waterloo (June 18, 1815) was the last major engagement of the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815), fought by a French army under the Emperor Napoleon I (Emperor from 1804 to 1814; 1815) against two armies of the Seventh Coalition.
Waterloo ended Napoleon’s career and the First French Empire and is often considered one of the most important battles in history.
The decisive Battle of Waterloo took place between the towns of Mont-Saint-Jean and Waterloo, in what is now Belgium, then part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
