Two centuries ago yesterday

Posted by David Hardy · 21 June 2015 04:27 PM

The high point of the Battle of Waterloo. Commemorated yesterday with a major re-enactment.

I've read a few sources that argue that Wellington spent the rest of his rewriting history, to play up the role of his army, and especially its British components, and play down the role of the Prussians, who were coming down on the French right flank, forcing Napoleon to divert part of his reserve against them, and to launch an attack on the Allied center with the remainder in an attempt to win before his time ran out.

Regardless of how much skewing perhaps happened afterwards, it was still an incredibly important battle. Always fun to watch re-enactments, too.
