Answer:

The British wanted to control South Africa because it was one of the trade routes to India. However, when gold and diamonds were discovered in the 1860s-1880s their interest in the region increased. This brought them into conflict with the Boers. ... Tensions between Boers and British led to the Boer War of 1899-1902.

The Waterloo Campaign was fought between the French Army of the North and two Seventh Coalition armies, an Anglo allied army and a Prussian army, that defeated Napoleon in the decisive Battle of Waterloo, forced him to abdicate for the second time, and ended the Napoleonic Era.
