The Battle of Waterloo (1815) was fought between the French, under of Napoleon Bonaparte, and the British army under the Duke of Wellington. The French defeat ended close 23 years of war beginning with the French Revolutionary wars in 1792 and continuing with the Napoleonic Wars from 1803.

The cost of poor relief soared, leading to a movement to reform the Poor Laws
