Napoleonic war perhaps. Long time ago and only once at Waterloo.

Europe wasn’t united at Waterloo. The British won at Waterloo because the Prussian Third Corps drew off a chunk of Napoleon’s army (and suffered a series of defeats in doing so) while the bulk of the Prussian Army hit the French right flank. Other British allies included the Dutch, Nassau, Brunswick and Hanover.
