More information:

The Battle of Waterloo was fought on Sunday 18 June 1815 near Waterloo in present-day Belgium. An Imperial French army under the command of Emperor Napoleon was defeated by combined armies of the Seventh Coalition, an Anglo-Allied army under the command of the Duke of Wellington combined with a Prussian army under the command of Gebhard von Blucher. The defeat at Waterloo put an end to Napoleon's rule as Emperor of the French. The site of the battlefield is today dominated by a large monument, the Lion Mound. Belgium's main crops include barley, corn, potatoes, sugar beets, wheat, and assorted fruits and vegetables with sugar beets, potatoes, and barley being the main staples.
