    Why Napoleon lost

    Just look at those pics....

    Nappy

    Wellington (here meeting with Blücher who's on the right)

    Conclusion: Nappy would have had much better chances to beat Wellington at Waterloo and to achieve world domination if he had turned his hat 90 degrees. Wellington had already realized this and so he won.

      You don't think his hat had anything to do with him being defeated? I can't imagine any other reason....

        You should be glad he lost. You'd be speaking French right now if the Brits hadn't saved your asses.

          Imo, it has more to do with strategy and terrain advantage...

          But I'm stupid that way.

            But at Waterloo the Brits didn't battle the French alone, those Prussians had quite a role to play....

              I thought he lost because of his buttocks?

                Prussia is Polish, not German.

                      That's a common misunderstanding. Recent research has revealed the much more important role of those hats....

                          Maybe if people were wearing more hats we would have more wars.
                          Looks around, at the time people were wearing hats in europe and america, we had more wars than now where hats are out of fashion.

                              Besides the hat, please note he's riding the white horse
