On the morning of June 18, 1815, the troops commanded by the Duke of Wellington gathered at a camp in a small town in Belgium called Waterloo. Continuous rain brought pain, dampness, and cold to the soldiers. However, these soldiers would be thankful for the heavy rain that had begun the night before, as this summer downpour not only saved many lives but would also rewrite the history of Europe, right here at the battlefield of Waterloo. The Battle of Waterloo saw the French army, led by Napoleon, fighting alone against the coalition countries headed by Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Britain. Napoleon was a confident man who underestimated his enemies. He had never faced Wellington before and believed that Wellington would not make a strong stand at Waterloo. He expected that a single offensive would drive Wellington off the ridge and force him to retreat. Thus, he never anticipated a large-scale battle. As the battle began, the French managed to defeat the British vanguard, but the French forces had already been weakened significantly. As the coalition forces drew closer to the French, their morale dropped, and unrest began to spread within their ranks. Soon, the French army was utterly defeated, and the battle ended after just a full day of fighting. The Battle of Waterloo is special because it is one of the rare battles that achieved a decisive victory through just a single engagement. After this, almost no battle could decide the entire outcome of a war by itself, but this battle succeeded in doing so. The victory at Waterloo made the Duke of Wellington a hero, warmly welcomed by the people. On the other hand, Napoleon's fate was grim; he was exiled to the remote island of Saint Helena in the Atlantic. There, Napoleon spent his remaining days, and the once-proud emperor gradually faded into obscurity.
