Why Napoleon Said This One British General Was His Only True Equal

On June 18, 1815, at Waterloo, Napoleon Bonaparte publicly dismissed the British army and its commander. Privately, he knew better. For years, Napoleon had studied the campaigns of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington in Spain and Portugal. He watched as his finest marshals were defeated. He analyzed Wellington’s defensive mastery. And after Waterloo, in exile on St. Helena, Napoleon made a stunning admission: Wellington was his only true equal. This video explores the hidden rivalry between two of history’s greatest commanders — from the Peninsular War to the final clash at Waterloo — and the private respect that existed beneath public contempt. Two men. Two systems of warfare. One final reckoning.
