Who defeated Napoleon?

After Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, the British Commander-in-Chief, Duke Wellington, returned to London and held a grand celebration banquet. Present at the dinner were not only many officers and men who made meritorious deeds in the war, but also many celebrities and gentlemen and ladies from all walks of life. The dishes at the dinner were very rich. Before eating snacks, everyone put a bowl of water in front of them. A soldier from a peasant family took a generous sip of this bowl of water. The distinguished guests who witnessed this scene snickered. It turns out that this bowl of water is used to wash hands before eating snacks, not to drink. The soldier played this joke because he didn't understand this etiquette. At that time, the soldiers were ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground. Just then, the Duke of Wellington stood up with the bowl of hand washing water in front of him and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's drink to this brave soldier!" " After a burst of warm applause, everyone raised their glasses and drank together. The soldiers and everyone present were moved by the Duke of Wellington's action.
