It was the final battle of Napoleon Bonaparte , the French emperor who had ruled much of Europe.

Despite strong French attacks, the Allies held their defensive position on a ridge while waiting for the Prussians to arrive. The French made tactical mistakes, including early cavalry charges, and when the Prussian army joined the fight late in the day, the French were overwhelmed.
