The Battle of Waterloo has become synonymous with the word “defeat” but who lost, and why was it important? In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte left the island of Elba, and in a space of 100 days took power, and challenged the entire world to meet him on his terms. When that failed, he offered them a fight, one that would end at Waterloo, and left repercussions which can still be felt, even now, centuries later. ✓ Beginnings ✓ Discord and Discontent ✓ The World Rearranged ✓ The Prisoner ✓ The Journey to Waterloo Begins ✓ One Hundred Days ✓ Quatre Bras & Ligny And much more! Who was this man, and what happened on the battlefield that made this fight in particular, so important? What was the lesson of Waterloo?
