Waterloo is in Belgium. The Duke of Wellington had his British troops, and the King's Germans (King William's grandfather had been German), and some Belgian and Dutch troops. The Prussians were on their way, and the battle might have gone the other way if they hadn't shown up at the last.
Napoleon had been defeated in his Russian campaign three years earlier. He was exiled twice, the first time between the two. Waterloo was, to overstate the matter a little, the end of a brief comeback attempt.

Napoleon was defeated at the battle of Waterloo by an allied army (British, Dutch, Belgian, Germans) under the command of the Duke of Wellington and the Prussian army under the command of Blucher.
Waterloo is in Belgium and at the time of the battle was part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The Russians defeated Napoleon in Russia although disease, desertion, starvation, and the cold killed more soldiers than the Russians. The Russians also played a major part in the campaigns of 1813 and 1814.

Napoleons original defeat was the result of his loss in Russia in 1812. Having failed to defeat the Russians, Napoleon began his retreat from Moscow on October 19th, and his army was already at less than half strength. They attempted to retreat along a different path than they had followed on the invasion to gain more access to plundered supplies, but were defeated by the Russians at Maloyaroslavets on October 24th, which forced them to retreat along a path which had already been largely destroyed by their advance. Their problems grew worse when it started snowing in November, but they were already leaving Russia with as a defeated army before winter started. The Russians inflicted addtitional defeats on the French at Krasnoi (November 15-18) and at the Battle of Berezina (November 26-29). The following year, the Russians chased him back to Paris, and other countries that Napoleon had conquered (Like Austria and Prussia) rose up and joined them on the way, winning a major victory at Liepzieg in October of 1813. On March 31 1814 Tsar Alexander I entered Paris at the head of the Russian, Prussian, and Austrian armies. Napoleon was forced to abdicate, and then was exiled. He escaped and regained control of France in 1815, and was defeated by the British and Prussians at Waterloo. Even had he won, the Russian and Austrian armies were on the way, and there is no way Napoleon's return to power could have been sucessful.
