Waterloo is always connected with Napoleon, but its significance was far greater than one man. It determined the future peace of Europe for 100 years, until World War I. Napoleon had almost conquered Europe and made it his empire. He was an offensive genius and inspirer of soldiers, but the Duke of Wellington's defensive skills finally defeated him.
