EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Waterloo: The Hundred Days - The Action at 11am: Napoleon Tempts Wellington to Expose His Centre The Battle of Waterloo, fought on June 18, 1815, is one of the most famous and pivotal battles in European history. This historic moment, captured in the photograph "The Battle of Waterloo: The Hundred Days - The Action at 11am: Napoleon Tempts Wellington to Expose His Centre," depicts a critical point in the battle where Napoleon Bonaparte, the French emperor, attempted to lure the Duke of Wellington into revealing his centre position. At 11am on June 18, 1815, the French army, under the command of Napoleon, launched a massive assault on the Allied forces led by Wellington, who were positioned on the ridge of Mont-Saint-Jean, near the village of Waterloo in present-day Belgium. In this photograph, Napoleon is seen leading his troops towards the Allied centre, hoping to exploit any weaknesses and gain a decisive advantage. The Hundred Days refers to the period between Napoleon's escape from Elba in March 1815 and his final defeat at Waterloo. This battle marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the beginning of a new era in European history. The events of June 18, 1815, would forever be etched in the annals of war and history. The photograph, from Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a fascinating glimpse into this momentous battle, capturing the tension, drama, and uncertainty of the clash between two great military leaders. The image serves as a reminder of the strategic brilliance and courage displayed by both sides during the Battle of Waterloo, a battle that would ultimately determine the fate of Europe.
