The Battle of Waterloo took place in 1815 in the Belgian province of Waterloo. It saw the defeat of the reconstituted French imperial army of Napoleon Bonaparte by the British under the Duke of Wellington and the Prussians under Marshal Blucher. This defeat marked the final end of the French empire, Bonaparte being deposed as Emperor for the second time, and once again set into exile.

After the battle, Wellington told the Fourth Doctor, "The only thing sadder than a battle lost, is a battle won." Some time later, the Doctor considered how right he was. (EDA: The Eight Doctors)

Wellington fought alongside Oliver Blazington at the battle. (NSA: The Eye of the Jungle)

'Waterloo' has become a byword for defeats; for example, the Fourth Doctor referred to the defeat of the Sontarans as "their Waterloo". (DW: The Sontaran Experiment)

While teaching at Farringham School for Boys, John Smith gave a lesson on Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. (DW: Human Nature)

In a history project for school, Clyde Langer and Luke Smith were required to show the battle strategies by Wellington and Napoleon at the battle. The pair re-enacted the battle on Mr Smith. (SJA: The Last Sontaran)
