By June 1815 the armies of Britain, Prussia, Austria, and Russia were converging on France, intent on removing Napoleon from power once and for all. Planning on defeating his enemies separately, Napoleon crossed into the southern Netherlands (Belgium) where the Anglo-allied—British, Dutch, and German—and Prussian armies were gathering. However, when Napoleon attempted to eliminate the Anglo-allies at Waterloo, they beat off his attacks for long enough for the Prussians to arrive, and together the two armies routed the French.
