| | Duke of Wellington |
 | | After a very complicated series of military maneuvering by the French troops and the Allied troops, all of the armies ended up at the small town of Waterloo, Belgium, which is 15 miles south of Brussels. |
 | | Here, Napoleon made a brilliant maneuver with his army to cut off the Prussian force, led by Gebhard Leberecht von Blucher, from the rest of the Allied forces, led by Wellesley. |
 | | Overnight, there was a heavy rainstorm, which might have been a deciding factor in the battle because it unexpectedly changed the conditions the battle would be fought under. |
