Description: Battle of Waterloo - The Battle of Waterloo was fought on the 18th of June 1815, near Waterloo, Belgium. It was a decisive engagement that ended Napoleon's reign and the Napoleonic Wars. La Haye Sainte was defended by about 400 King's German Legion troops during the Battle of Waterloo. Being greatly outnumbered by attacking French forces, the defenders held out until the late afternoon when they retired as their ammunition had run out. If Napoleon Bonaparte's army had captured La Haye Sainte earlier in the day, he would have almost certainly broken through the allied centre and defeated the Duke of Wellington's army.
