Default Did they really not know who was fighting in Waterloo?
That was one of the questions on BBOTS and it seemed like most of them didn't even know it involved Britain defeating the french.
Didn't they watch Blackadder?

That was Napoleons first defeat and it changed the world.

Yeah I got the names mixed up. I mean Wellington. But at least I knew it was between Britain and France.

I never learnt this either. In school we were taught about three things...

Battle of Hastings, The Tudors and the World Wars.
