The
Waterloo Campaign (15 June – 8 July 1815) was fought between the French
Army of the North and two Seventh Coalition armies, an Anglo-allied army and a Prussian army. Initially the French army was commanded by
Napoleon Bonaparte, but he left for Paris after the French defeat at the
Battle of Waterloo. Command then rested on Marshals
Soult and
Grouchy, who were in turn replaced by
Marshal Davout, who took command at the request of the French Provisional Government. The Anglo-Allied army was commanded by the
Duke of Wellington and the Prussian army by
Prince Blücher.
