On the field of Waterloo in Belgium, on June 18th, 1815, Napoleon made his last stand, hoping to seize victory before the Prussian Army arrived. THe British Army commanded by the Duke of Wellington suffered heavy losses, but Napoleon turned round and fled back to Paris when he saw that his famous regiment, the Old Guard , break before a British charge. After this defeat, his own people did not want him and Napoleon had no option but to renounce his throne, but this was not sufficient, the French statesmen ordered him to leave France altogether but because all ports were guarded by the British, Napoleon gave himself up top the commander of the British war-ship, and on this he was kept until it was decided to send him to ST Helena, a little Island in the South Pacific, where he remained until his death five years later, still a prisoner of the British. So ended Napoleon's grand plans of world dominance. Do you have ancestors who fought or may have fought at Waterloo?
