"Waterloo" is from the Battle of Waterloo. The Battle of Waterloo is a famous battle in the history of warfare that ultimately decided the fate of Napoleon and his empire, and had a profound impact on Europe. There have been many opinions about the reasons for Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.

The Duke of Wellington, the victor, believed that Napoleon's strategic offensive was the main cause of his defeat, and that Napoleon should wait for the Allied forces to invade France, and in the course of time he would collapse on his own due to lack of food. Now "Waterloo" is used to describe failure at a decisive juncture, to describe a turning point from its heyday to decay, or to induce a pivotal event that leads to decline.

"Waterloo" is from the Battle of Waterloo. Introduction to the Battle of Waterloo: On June 18, 1815, the decisive battle between the French and the anti-French coalition forces in the Belgian town of Waterloo was held.

The battle ended with a decisive victory for the anti-French coalition. This campaign ended the Napoleonic Empire. This battle was also the last battle of Napoleon I.

Napoleon was exiled after his defeat and has since retired from history.

Reasons for the defeat of the Battle of Waterloo:

1. The troops are scattered.

Napoleon has always advocated the concentration of superior forces. But this campaign was strangely dispersed at the beginning. In the Battle of Rigny, Napoleon sent Ney's army to detour to the right flank of the Prussian army when the enemy's situation was unknown, but Ney wasted time and finally encountered 20,000 British troops, that is, he gave up the task of encircling and destroying the Prussian army in a roundabout way, and was pinned down by the secondary enemy, and then only sent 1 corps slowly, but also failed to reach the battlefield.

2. The Prussian army blocked and counterattacked.

Napoleon planned to concentrate his forces to defeat the British army, and the French army had defeated the Prussian army at Blücher at Rigny, two days before the decisive battle of Waterloo. However, because the 1st Army Corps got lost and did not arrive at the battlefield in time, and the 6th Army Corps was too far away and moved too late, the Battle of Linny became a defeat rather than the expected annihilation.

Napoleon did not organize a pursuit of the Prussian army at dusk on the 16th, but sent Marshal Grouchy to pursue it with 10,000 men the next day. But it was too late, Grouch did not find the Prussian army at all, but wasted a lot of troops in a fierce battle with the Prussian blocker at Wavre, but the main force of the Prussian army finally joined up with the British army and participated in the battle of Waterloo.

Waterloo means defeat. Waterloo is the site of the famous Battle of Waterloo in European history. The Battle of Waterloo was a war in which "the front was the shortest and the army was the most dense".

Napoleon suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, and later generations used the term "tragic encounter at Waterloo" to describe a person's defeat.
