Oh...and getting back to a previous point. Simon Wolf, Abe Lincoln's Jewish Attorney was also connected to The Rothschilds. There are books. Also, George Peabody did receive huge British Loans after The Civil War ended before working with Julius Spencer Morgan, the father of J.P. Morgan & Company long ago known today as J.P. Morgan & Chase. I found that source in a reference book, but The Biography Channel also mentioned those huge British Loans in their documentary on J.P. Morgan. G. Edward Griffin's book, 'The Creature From Jekyll Island (CSPAN Books) mentions that Paul Warburg (Paul Warburg - Federal Reserve History Dot Org's article on Jekyll Island) was an agent of The Rothschilds. Well, I found books on Paul Warburg & Jacob Schiff (Encyclopedia Britannica as well as other encyclopedias), and books on Jacob Schiff & The Rothschilds. Also, Forbes Magazine mentioned that Wilbur Ross, Trump's Right Hand Man, was an chairman for The Rothschild Banks for 23 Years. The L.A. Times also mentioned the same. Before that, The NY Times reported on Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild funding Hillary Clinton and Sen. John McCain's Campaigns. Hmmmm...So much for that law that prevents presidential candidates from receiving foreign campaign contributions whether direct or indirect. Oh...and They are also attacking The Separation of Church & State that Roger Williams came out with that later transcended down into our U.S. 1st Amendment between The Danbury Baptist Association & Thomas Jefferson in Danbury, CT in 1803 under 'A Wall of Separation." Thomas Jefferson's Letter on The Separation of Church & State is "The Clause" to our U.S. 1st Amendment (U.S. Library of Congress & 1st Amendment Center") I'm not surprised their attacking Pilgrims either when they were very thankful for Squanto. Sad how people manipulate our past to suit their agendas. Oh...and Reverend Edward Wightman was one of the reasons why Roger Williams came out with The Separation of Church & State as well as Obediah Holmes, Anne Hutchinson and many others who were persecuted long ago for their beliefs. The Separation of Church & State was to prevent government from messing with religion, to prevent government from forming a centralized church, and to grant 'religious freedom' in order to prevent a person from becoming persecuted for their religious freedom to speak their beliefs. Too many were executed in the past to forget that which even led us up to The 30 Years' War which did not just include Germany but many parts of Europe as well. The United States was based on "Religious Freedom" a quest shared by those on The Mayflower as well as our U.S. Founding Fathers. Funny how people forget that part of our past or never research into that part of our past. I'm also pretty sure mainstream media won't talk about that past either. Bunch of holigans, and the whole damn country has been hijacked from within, and people don't even realize it. I guess that is what television and playing video games does to a person. They don't even realize that The Queen of England sits on The Crown of Canada, and it isn't even a secret.

We also have four forts built to defend against the French, these forts were never required, but had uses during WW1 and WW2.

Napoleon couldn't win the campaign even if he had won the battle decisively. The Allies (or whatever we call them) were simply too powerful and unified around the deposing him. He would have had to bat 1000 in perpetuity to stay in power. Impossible, even for a genius. His Empire was lost in Russia. Everything after that was the twitching of its corpse.

His biggest flaws were in display post Russia. He was probably the most egotistical and vain general ever hence the battle of Waterloo. People had been paying attention and studying him and his methods since Austerlitz. He had large body of work to study and really didn't change much. Granted they copied him to the letter, the entire Corp system is his invention.

Excellent video. You touched upon it here but I think the most significant parts of this battle took place during the days leading up to it: the Prussians were able to withdraw from Ligny in good order and stay in support range of Wellington, and Napoleon's decision to split his army and send Grouchy and his wing off to chase the Prussians. This led to Napoleon having a smaller army at Waterloo to start the day, and when the Prussian army beat Grouchy to the battlefield the numbers swung massively against him. And indeed, anyone with a map and a copy of orders can see that Grouchy never had a chance of stopping the Prussians. Napoleon sent him away too late to have any impact. I love your content! Thank you!

Fun fact: There were about 3800 muskets at Trafalgar. The French 4th division of the 1st Corps alone had 4000 at Waterloo and they were all concentrated! Just imagine the noise.

There was more Canadian participation in the Napoleonic Wars than I first thought. I have two 5th great granduncles from New Brunswick who supposedly fought at Waterloo after fighting in the War of 1812. I am waiting to hear back from the provincial archives on assistance for the research in verifying that information.

The story I connect with Waterloo is that of two horses: Napoleon´s white arabian stallion Marengo and Wellington´s chestnut Copenhagen. Marengo, who had carried Napoleon into battles like Austerlitz, Jena and Wargram and survived the russian campain, was captured that day and brought to England. He was said to be brave and one of his hooves was turned into a tabacco box - after his death, of course. Copenhagen was a chestnut thoroughbred and said to always greet every unit with an enthusiastic neigh. He was also known to kick if someone got too close. What I find most impressive is that the day before the battle, Wellington rode him from 10 am an to 8 pm with almost no interruption, then spend nearly 15 hours in the saddle on the 18th, constantly on the move. And yet, when he got off afterwards, Copenhagen still had enough energy to kick out and almost hit him.
