The Battle of Waterloo

Retreat from Empire

A war which should never have been fought and which bled a generation and the British Empire dry. The first world war was fought because the leadership of Europe would not stop it. The feeling of inevitability among the nations on the brink led to 4 terrible years on the Western Front and around the world with the repetition of slaughter for a few feet repeated again and again. The result -the seeds were sown for an even more terrible conflict.
