In which present day country was the famous battle of Waterloo fought ?

It is unique in military history as the only battle ever to have decided a war.

AppleA815, didn't read the question, huh? It did say present day. Read it again.

Celebrated as Wellington's victory, mostly because the greater part of the fighting, 98%, was between the French and British. However, if not for the very timely arrival of Von Blucher at the end it would, at best, have been a draw.

sunsetdb7, that doesn’t sound true…

tunegrabber, I think I hear a horse whinny in the distance... ;^}

sunsetdb7, not true at all,check out a history book, certain battles have ended many wars, unless I'm mistaken on your meaning,the American Revolution and civil war for just two instances

sunsetdb7, What about the battle of Zanzibar? That was the whole war! Lasted under 40 minutes

von blucher, ha!
