What was Napoleon trying to accomplish at Waterloo?

by GraemeTaylor

I'm trying to keep this from being a "What If" question as they aren't allowed, but I am confused as to what Napoleon's objectives were. From what I recall he was trying to split the Prussian and English armies…did he have a chance? Why was he trying to do this?
