Shouldn't Sweden be the one commemorating Waterloo?  :hmm:

They should have done that last april as it was the 40th anniversary. :gasp:

How is one treasonous against oneself?   :hmm: :royalist:

He was French and thus his first loyalty was to the nation!

Like the Duke of Provence ever showed Louis XVI that much deference.  He actually worked to undermine his ministers.  Hardly a believer in absolute monarchy.

Brits are really missing a trick by not joining the Euro and releasing Trafalgar and Agincourt coins.

I always thought they should rebuild the Tannenburg monument.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'll take a Davout, hold the Bernadotte sauce.

The coin would have looked different with a Davout and cheese, hold the Ney - oh, and a side order of Grouchy arriving before it got cold.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I think France should do an annexation of Belgium commemorative.  Then an 1806 occupation of Berlin one.

A post-WWI Rhineland Occupation one would probably be good-- maybe one featuring a Rheinlandbastard.
That would be a good compromise, since we helped the French than.
