He got very close indeed. After his surrender to Captain Maitland of the Bellerophon (the Billy Ruffian to its crew) off Rochefort on the 15th of July, 1815, Napoleon was briefly taken to Brixham Harbour in Devon and then on to Plymouth Sound, so he certainly saw Britain at close range even if he never set foot in it.Losing Trafalgar would have left Britain vulnerable and with the prospect of waging a land campaign against Bonaparte incredibly bleak.Historians know that rainy and muddy conditions helped the Allied army defeat the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo. The June 1815 event changed the course of European history.
Where was Napoleon during the Battle of Trafalgar : Napoleon Bonaparte was not present at the Battle of Trafalgar, which took place on October 21, 1805. Instead, the battle was fought between the British Royal Navy, commanded by Admiral Nelson, and the combined fleets of France and Spain.
What were Napoleon’s last words

Who defeated the British Empire : Like the Romans, the British fought a variety of enemies. They also had the distinction of being defeated by a variety of enemies, including Americans, Russians, French, Native Americans, Africans, Afghans, Japanese and Germans. Even in defeat, there is something glorious in losing to so many different foes.
Their careers overlapped considerably during the French Revolutionary Wars (1793-1802) – Nelson as a commander in the British Navy and Napoleon as a general in the French army – though they never met in combat. Both proved to be gifted leaders and their victories in battle heightened their personal reputations. The French and Spanish Navies together had only 90 ships of the line [1], so they would have had to destroy 23+ British ships of the line to even reach parity in ships of the line, never mind superiority. They could have done this at Trafalgar; but there were only 30 of the 113 present [2].
Who actually won the Battle of Waterloo
Wellington's army beats off a succession of French attacks. The arrival of the Prussians completes Napoleon's defeat.Napoleon deeply distrusted the ethos of globalised British capitalism, unfettered by any social contract between rich and poor, a suspicion with Brexit-era echoes. Napoleon didn't get the English.145 Estimated IQs of 301 Geniuses of the 15th – 19th Centuries by Catharine Morris Cox, PhD

At the time of his death, the French might have recorded his height in French inches, which were a little longer than English inches. They put him at five-foot-two, but this was probably more like 5 feet and 6.5 inches, a perfectly normal height for a man of his time.
Why did Britain lose its empire : The Empire was overstretched and – combined with growing unrest in various colonies – this led to the swift and decisive fall of many of Britain's key assets, some diplomatically, some violently. In 1947 India became independent following a nonviolent civil-disobedience campaign spearheaded by Mahatma Gandhi.

Did Lord Nelson defeat Napoleon
At sea, Lord Nelson and the Royal Navy consistently thwarted Napoleon Bonaparte, who led France to preeminence on the European mainland. Nelson's last and greatest victory against the French was the Battle of Trafalgar, which began after Nelson caught sight of a Franco-Spanish force of 33 ships. By our count the central states of France and England, later Britain,, fought 41 wars against each other between the first Anglo-French War in 1109 and the Hundred Days in 1815. On average that's a war every 17.3 years. In total France won 24 wars, England/Britain won 11 and 6 were a tie.The major points of conflict for the two countries were the English claim to the French throne and to England's land holdings in France. England won most major battles, aided by longbowmen, but France ultimately defeated England and kept control over all of its land, save for a small territory.
Could the French have won Waterloo : Yes, Napoleon could have won the Battle of Waterloo. Two days earlier, if d'Erlon's corps had attacked at Ligny on the Prussian's right flank, the Prussians could have lost two thirds of their army instead of the 34,000 they did lose.
