With the Russian campaign, one European nation saw its last engagement to date in a war. What is this country?
 
I am going to make a bold move and say Swiss troops fighting for Napoleon were there.....
I love this question- good party trivia (if you go to parties with history majors)!

This is the correct answer Sandor! {bravo}}That country is Switzerland. While Switzerland proclaimed its neutrality in 1813, the latter was officially recognized in 1815 (9 days before Waterloo) at the Congress of Vienna (held between Sept 1814 and June 1815) which gathered the states which defeated Napoléon as well as other European states including the Kingdom of France (represented by Talleyrand.)
