EDITORS COMMENTS
Allies Enter Paris: Triumph and Triumphant Return after the Battle of Waterloo, October 1815 In the aftermath of the momentous Battle of Waterloo on July 18, 1815, the Allied forces, led by the Duke of Wellington and Prussian General Blücher, set out on their victorious march towards Paris. The city, the symbolic heart of the Napoleonic Empire, had been under the control of the French Emperor since 1804. The Allied forces' entry into Paris marked the end of the Hundred Days, the brief period during which Napoleon had managed to regain power after his exile. As the Allied troops approached the city, Parisians eagerly awaited their arrival, unsure of what the future held. Some welcomed the Allied forces as liberators, while others remained loyal to Napoleon. The city's streets were filled with a mix of excitement, trepidation, and uncertainty. On October 30, 1815, the Allied forces finally entered Paris, marking the end of the Napoleonic Wars. The scene depicted in this print from Mary Evans Prints Online shows the Allied troops, led by the Duke of Wellington, riding through the Arc de Triomphe, a symbol of French military glory, as they make their triumphant entry into the city. The print captures the jubilant mood of the moment, with Parisians lining the streets to cheer and celebrate the Allied victory. The entry of the Allied forces into Paris was a pivotal moment in European history. It marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the beginning of a new era of peace and stability on the continent. This print provides a glimpse into the historic event, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the significant role that the Battle of Waterloo played in shaping the course of European history.
