The Belle-Alliance is a small inn situated a few miles south of Brussells in Belgium. It came to prominance when Napoleon spent the night there prior to the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815, and where he then established his headquaters for the battle itself.
After the battle Blucher, the Prussian Commander suggested that the Battle should be remembered as la Belle-Alliance,to commemerate the European alliance which had gathered to defeat the French Emperor. The Duke of Wellington, the Supreme commander of the allied army, instead recommended Waterloo, the village just north of the battlefield, where he himself had spent the previous night, commenting that it would not do to name the battle after the loser's command post
