Once the United Kingdom's 67,000-strong army under the Duke of Wellington had forced a precarious stalemate against Napoleon's 73,000, von Blucher's Prussian forces arrived and were able to achieve decisive numerical superiority, forcing Napoleon out.
The battle marked the end of [[Napoleon]]'s reign and his exile to the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic.
