Poles in the Napoleonic era [224]
Napoleon lost the war - long war, he lost against Russia and Britain they were aided by Prussia and Spain.
Britain was the longest enemy of France, particularly revolutionary France and the most constant enemy.
Britain can claim credit in Napoleonic France defeat.
As to Waterloo credit belong to British and Prussian forces but to credit Wellington with defeating Napoleon its too much.
He was given the honour of representing Britain but he didn't won with Napoleon.
Britain didn't have a many general, I mean very good generals ....
Wellington wasn't even close to Napoleon at last five notches down if not more...
If not Waterloo it would had been Shaggybottom or other place.....
