The Battle of Quatre Bras took place on the 16th of June 1815. The battle was a prelude to the Battle of Waterloo that took place on the 18th. Victory at Quatre Bras went to Wellington and his forces, however the battle meant that the allied forces were held up and unable to reinforce the Prussian forces at the Battle of Ligny, causing Napoleons forces to gain a victory; the last in Napoleons military career, however.
