The French general who was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo was Napoleon Bonaparte. However, Napoleon was not physically present at the battle. He had been exiled to the island of Elba after his first defeat, but he escaped and returned to France in 1815, which is known as the Hundred Days. He gathered his army and decided to fight the allied forces of Britain, the Netherlands, and Prussia. The French forces were led by Marshal Michel Ney and were eventually defeated by the Duke of Wellington, who was the commander of the allied forces. The battle was fought on June 18, 1815, near Waterloo in present-day Belgium, and it marked the final defeat of Napoleon's empire.
