A Complete History on the Battle of Waterloo( the Defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte)Six days (March 13, 1815) before Napoleon reached Paris, the authority of the Congress of Vienna had declared him an outlaw. Four days after the declaration, the mobilized armies of Prussia, Austria, Russia, and the United Kingdom planned an attack to defeat Napoleon. Napoleon was aware that once he attempted to attack one or more of the allies of the Seventh Coalition in the French invasion, his only chance of retaining his power would be to attack first before the mobilization of all the armies of the Coalition. His goal was to destroy the existing forces of the Coalition that were in the south of Brussels before they were commanded. Once this happened, Napoleon might be able to drive the British army back to the sea and defeat the Prussian army in battle.The initial disposition of Wellington was to deal with the threat of Napoleon's attack by gathering all the armies of the Coalition. Part of his disposition was to transfer to the southwest of Brussels through Mons. With this transfer, Wellington's communications with his base at Ostend were cut. However, the transfer got his army closer to the army of Blucher. On the contrary, Napoleon took advantage of Wellington's fear of losing his supply chain with false intelligence from the channel ports. He divided his army into two wings, the right wing under the command of Marshal Grouchy and the left wing under the command of Marshal Ney. He also had his own reserve army that fell under his command. Before dawn on June 15, the armies of Napoleon crossed the frontier near the Charleroi and rapidly overran the outposts of the Seventh Coalition. The crossing garnered Napoleon a favorable central position between the armies of Blucher and Wellington.It was already late in the night of June 15 when Wellington become certain that the attacks made at the Charleroi came from the main French thrust of Napoleon's armies. On the morning of June 16 while Wellington was at the Duchess of Richmond's ball, he received notice from the Prince of Orange that Napoleon speedily attacked in advance again. He hurriedly commanded his army to focus on the Quatre Bras wherein a vague position was held against the soldiers of the left wing of Marshal Ney. Present at the position are the Prince of Orange together with the brigade of Prince Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar. Marshal Ney's orders were to secure the crossroads of Quatro Bras. In this way, he could later move east and strengthen Napoleon's forces.Napoleon's next move focused more on the army of Prussia. He decided to prioritize the Prussians. On June 16, he succeeded in defeating the Prussian army of Blucher at the Battle of Ligny with the help from his reserved right wing. The heavy assaults of French troops gave way to the Prussian center but the border held their ground. Meanwhile, Ney discovered that the crossroads of Quatre Bras were being managed by the Prince of Orange. At first, Quatre Bras was able to repel the initial attacks of Ney's wing successful but gradually it was driven back due to vast numbers of French troops.Here Is A Preview Of What You Will Get:
