The french army is a powerful army under the control of there leader Napoleon. After defeated by brutal russia Napoleon was exiled to an island 50 miles from italy. He was given 20,000 soldiers with this island. Ten months after Napoleon was kicked from power he escaped the island and came back to france for a new bid of power. The french general got word of this and tried to stop him. They caught up to Napoleon but Napoleon was not scared he asked the french army a question "Who would u rather be king me or King Louis xvI?". The french army then answered him they withdrew there weapons and they all walked back to france. King Louis xvi got word of this and fled up north to present-day Belgium. The allies heard of this action and started to prepare for battle. There were only two allies that could match up to Napoleons power and they were Britain under the control of Duke of Wellington with the force of 68,000 soldiers. Then Prussia under the control of Field Marshal Blucher with the force of 89,000 soldiers. Napoleon first made route to meet the prussians and they clashed on june 16 at ligny. The french were a tough battle for the second time but this time the victors were the french. After this fierce battle the french had there eye on the british. They met at the town of Waterloo in Belgium. The mourning before the battle it rained which made the battle grounds very tough to fight on. It was june 18th and I am reporting to you live from the battle grounds of this bruttle battle between two grusum armys ever known. I watched as the two armies lined up on both sides of the field. The drums were playing I heard the boots slamming off the ground from all the marching. Napoleon looking as fierce as ever before. The duke of wellington strategizing his first move. Each army not knowing whats going to come first. The battle started out with Napoleons first blow with an artillery strike. The british just stood there and took it. Both sides started to walk forward with force pounding there drums. Now the battle has really begun they charged at eachother soldiers dropping left and right like dominos. Just when the french seemed to be victorious the british turned it around. They pushed the french army to there limits but the power of the french was no match for britains brave strength. As soon as you know it the french have fallen. The britains executed the rest of the french army still standing and kept Napoleon for a second exile hopefully his last. I’m reporter Trisha Takanowa and have a nice night. This picture represents the end of the battle when the british rose as the victors.After the battle you could see in the picture that they were really tired from fighting countless hours against one of the most powerful armies known to man.
