NAPOLEON'S DEFEAT IN WATERLOO
The Battle of Waterloo was fought the 18 June 1815 near Waterloo, in present-day Belgium.
This scale shows you that Napoleon fought not against one army, but six.

Full length portrait of Napoleon in his forties, in high-ranking white and dark blue military dress uniform. He stands amid rich 18th century furniture laden with papers, and gazes at the viewer. His hair is Brutus style, cropped close but with a short fringe in front, and his right hand is tucked in his waistcoat.The defeat at Waterloo put an end to Napoleon's rule as Emperor of the French.

Napoleon delayed giving battle until noon on 18 June to allow the ground to dry. Wellington's army, positioned across the Brussels road on the Mont-Saint-Jean escarpment, withstood repeated attacks by the French, until, in the evening, the Prussians arrived in force and broke through Napoleon's right flank. At that moment, Wellington's Anglo-Allied army counter-attacked and drove the French army in disorder from the field.

HANNIBAL BARCA

Hannibal was a Carthaginian leader born in the 3rd century B.C.   He became the Romans' worst enemy and nearly
 ended the Roman Empire.

He set out from Carthage, travelling through north Africa to Spain, north over the Pyranees, but his problems arose as he started over the Alps in the winter. When he arrived at the Alps he had 50.000 men with him, but the treacherous journey reduced their numbers to a third. 

However, this is not what caused his defeat.  His own counsel in Carthage contained spies working for Rome and when Hannibal requested more supplies, provisions and men, they refused him.  Due to this he had to wait many years to build up a sufficient army, but by this time, Rome had increased its power and strength and Hannibal no longer had the advantage.
He was finally defeated, the Romans then also destroyed Carthage and Hannibal committed suicide in 186 B.C.
