Wellington's victory
Wellington’s victory at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 was achieved through strategic planning, effective use of terrain, and disciplined troop management. He cleverly positioned his forces on high ground, delaying the enemy’s advance, and coordinated attacks with his allies to weaken Napoleon’s army. Wellington also anticipated Napoleon’s tactics, countering with well-timed defensive stands and reserves. His leadership kept his troops organized under pressure, ultimately causing Napoleon’s army to falter and retreat. The victory marked a decisive end to Napoleon’s rule, reshaping European history and establishing Wellington’s reputation as a skilled military commander.
