The Battle of Waterloo was one of the epic contests of all time with the three greatest generals of the age present along with 200,000 troops from nine countries. The outcome of the battle was perched on a knife edge until the very last hour of daylight. The cost was high; more than 50,000 casualties in an area of just three square miles, but Napoleon was ultimately defeated and exiled for the remainder of his life, allowing the British Empire to establish a powerful hegemony over the following hundred years.
