Great objective analysis of the battle in which the contribution of the Dutch is finally recognised.

Very good video. The battle of Quatre Bras (Four Arms) showed how incompetent Ney could be. His lack of tactical acumen and strategic vision condemned that day the French army to defeat and two days later he did the same at Waterloo. Regards.
PS: One thing that irritates me very much about the Hundred Days campaign is the arrogant attitude of most British historians who ignore the bravery of the Dutch and German troops who made up 2/3 of Wellington´s army. Reading most British accounts you would believe that Wellington´s army was 100% British.

I feel the same & have reminded many people that Wellington was in command of an allied army. 👍
