The War of the Seventh Coalition (1815) was a conflict involving several European powers against the French Empire, led by Napoleon Bonaparte. This war followed Napoleon's return from exile and aimed to restore stability in Europe after his previous defeats. Key participants included the United Kingdom, Prussia, Austria, and Russia, who formed a coalition to counter Napoleon's ambitions. The war culminated in the decisive Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815, where Napoleon was defeated by the coalition forces under the command of Duke of Wellington and Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. This defeat marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars and led to Napoleon's second exile, significantly reshaping the political landscape of Europe.
