In which year did the Battle of Waterloo take place?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1815

The direct answer is B: 1815. The Battle of Waterloo was fought on 18 June 1815 in present-day Belgium. Napoleon Bonaparte, who had returned to power in France, was defeated by an allied army led by the Duke of Wellington, with important Prussian support under Blücher. This defeat ended Napoleon’s rule and his attempt to dominate Europe. Therefore the fact chain is: Napoleon’s return, allied confrontation, Waterloo, 1815, final defeat. Option A, 1789, is the year associated with the beginning of the French Revolution, not Waterloo. Option B is correct because the battle took place in 1815. Option C, 1914, marks the beginning of the First World War, nearly a century later. Option D, 1939, marks the beginning of the Second World War, also much later. Memory cue: “Waterloo = Napoleon’s final defeat = 1815.”
