EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken circa 1910s, provides a breathtaking panoramic view of the Battlefield of Waterloo and Mont-Saint-Jean in Belgium. The scene captures the historic site where one of the most significant battles in European history unfolded on 18th June 1815. The Battle of Waterloo marked the final defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte, who had risen to power as the Emperor of the French in 1804. The battle took place between the French army, led by Napoleon, and the allied forces of the Seventh Coalition, comprised of British, Dutch, Belgian, and German troops. Mont-Saint-Jean, a small hill located in the southern part of the battlefield, played a crucial role in the battle. The French army attempted to capture the hill, which was held by the Prussian forces, in order to gain a strategic advantage. The battle raged on for hours, with both sides suffering heavy losses. In the end, the allied forces, led by the Duke of Wellington and Field Marshal Blücher, emerged victorious. The defeat of Napoleon signaled the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the beginning of a new era in European history. This aerial view offers a unique perspective of the battlefield, allowing us to appreciate the vastness of the scene and the strategic importance of the terrain. The undulating hills, the winding roads, and the scattered farmhouses all contribute to the rich historical tapestry of this iconic battlefield. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the pivotal role that Belgium has played in European history and the enduring legacy of the Battle of Waterloo.
