Outcome dispute.[edit]

it does not make any sense to conclude the Siege of Antwerp as a "Coalition Victory" since they never succesfully stormed the city before Napoleon's abdication. Just like Marshal Davout had been besieged in Hamburg throughout the Sixth Coalition War. He obeyed orders from the Bourbon Government to give up the city, since the war was over and there was no point in holding it any longer.
