  • An Extract from the film 'waterloo', showing the Duke of Wellington, his generals and officers before the Battle.
    After defeating France and imprisoning Napoleon on Elba, ending two decades of war, Europe is shocked to find Napoleon has escaped and has caused the French Army to defect from the King back to him. The best of the British generals, the Duke of Wellington, beat Napolean’s best generals in Spain and Portugal, but has never faced Napoleon. Wellington stands between Napoleon with a makeshift Anglo-Allied army and the Prussians. A Napoleon victory will plunge Europe back into a long term war. An allied victory could bring long term peace to Europe. The two meet at Waterloo where the fate of Europe will be decided.

      You should look into the artwork inspired by the Duchess of Richmond's ball. William Heath's "Intelligence of the Battle of Ligny" is portrayed in this scene.

  • @louthegiantcookie
    @louthegiantcookie 9 місяців тому +7

    When Wellington calls his own men thieves and scum, was he being affectionate? Or was it genuine contempt because he was of a higher class? Hard to tell, but to me it almost seemed more fatherly than outright malicious.

    • @Fighterofthenightmanaaaah
      @Fighterofthenightmanaaaah 9 місяців тому +12

      Its a combination of two things: pragmatism - Wellington understood that duty alone could not compel men to fight and die in vast numbers; the majority were in the army because they had little other choice and many signed up in lieu of prison sentences. The second is the kind of paternal classism that was prevalent at the time - ‘the poor know not what they do, their betters are to show them the way’
