Even
though Napoleon was a great general and enjoyed many victories, he was still
susceptible to errors and chance. This
was particularly true at the Battle of Waterloo where he met final his defeat. In a short essay, list
and describe the major errors
that led to Napoleon’s defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.
The
following major errors led to
Napoleon’s defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. The first error was the food. The food guy forgot to bring the grain inside
when it rained. Because of this, the
grained spoiled and the army went hungry. The second error was the ammunition. The ammunition guy packed the wrong size
bullets. The bullets he did pack did not
fit in the rifles, so Napoleon’s men were forced to throw the bullets at the
enemy. The third error was the weather. Napoleon expected it to be sunny, but it
constantly rained. Because of this, he
could not get his artillery up the hills because of the mud. They were
ineffective. The final error had
to do with the scouts. His scouts
reported 1000 enemy troops when in fact there were 10,000 enemy troops. His men were completely outnumbered. These were the errors that led to Napoleon’s
defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.
