I've been thinking about stuff overnight and I randomly realised that it is 200 years since 1804 and the Napoleonic Wars were getting interesting about now.

That is a period in History I've always been interested in. However I have to admit that most of what I know about the Napoleonic wars I got from watching Sharp ;)

I never got round to studying this period. Heave a big sigh of relief as this is one thread I won't be poking my big nose into. :P ;D

These are the "French military victories" that Google made famous.

Well, I think Trafalgar was around that time. Waterloo however was in 1817 I think. So a bit later. I can't actually say much about it as I have never read into it in any sort of detail. And History at school is trying to make you think that time began in 1900. :-[
