Topic: Waterloo campaign


  
  Napoleonic Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the ill-conceived campaign in Egypt during which disease and attacks by the British and the Ottomans ultimately wore down 40,000 French troops, Bonaparte managed to return to France on August 23, 1799.
During the campaign he had issued a decree for 900,000 fresh conscripts, but only a fraction of these were ever raised and Napoleon's increasingly unrealistic schemes for victory eventually gave way to the reality of the hopeless situation.
The start of the Battle of Waterloo on the morning of June 18 1815 was delayed for several hours as Napoleon waited until the ground had dried from the previous night's rain.
