Three armies participated in the battle: Napoleon's Armée du Nord, a multinational army under Wellington, and a Prussian army under General Blücher. Napoleon's 72,000 French troops against the duke of Wellington's army of 68,000 (British, Dutch, Belgian, and German soldiers) were aided by 45,000 Prussians under Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher.
The Battle of Waterloo was fought on 18 June 1815 between Napoleon's French Army and a coalition led by the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Blücher. The combined number of men killed or wounded reached nearly 50,000, with close to 25,000 casualties on the French side and approximately 23,000 for the Allied army. The battle permanently ended the Napoleonic Wars and wrote wrapped up the spectacular career of Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France. Opposing his French army were the troops of an Anglo-Dutch force (Great Britain and allied nations—The Netherlands, Belgium, and the German state of Hanover) under the command of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, and a Prussian army led by Field Marshal Prince Gebhard von Blücher. The battle began around noon and ended that evening with Napoleon’s army in retreat. So significant was the defeat of the “God of War” Napoleon that ever since when a seemingly unstoppable individual, force, or movement is defeated, it is said to have “met its Waterloo.” Here's a two-minute video summarizing the war.

The battle between the British Royal Navy and the combined fleets of the French and Spanish Navies. It took place during the Napoleonic War (1803–1815), as Napoleon Bonaparte and his armies tried to conquer Europe.  About 1,500 British seamen were killed or wounded in the Battle of Trafalgar, and Admiral Horatio Nelson was mortally wounded. In the Spanish and French fleets, 14,000 men were lost, of whom half were prisoners of war, and Admiral Pierre de Villeneuve was captured. Admiral Lord Nelson was already a national hero, but the fact that he was killed at Trafalgar made it his most famous victory and ensured his legacy lives on to this day. Here's a video showing the movement and the outcome of the war.
