The Battle of Waterloo was fought in 1815 near Brussels. |
During his Hundred Days campaign, Napoleon looked to be on the rise again after escaping Elba and returning to France. |
Napoleon almost won the Battle of Waterloo, but ultimately the troops of the Seventh Coalition held out against the French Army's assaults. |
A French Dragoon's helmet |
Marshal Ney's charge |
You can see the entire battlefield now from the Lion's Mound. |
It's a pretty steep climb. |
The fate of empires, decided in a Belgian field |
Everywhere in Belgium has great beer, even the battlefields. |
