What was Britain's most scandalous attack from the period 1789-1815?
Yes, that's right, I'm encouraging you to criticise Britain - those who consider me to be the personification of 'perfidious Albion' may just have fallen off their chairs. ๐
Let us be honest though, we criticise Napoleon (in many instances rightly, in my opinion) for his more aggressive actions, but the British were no less obviously partisan.
Colony grabs are an obvious contender here (Cape of Good Hope particularly springs to mind), but there are plenty of others (not least Copenhagen). As ever, what classifies as 'scandalous' is for you to argue.
Happy posting!
Does history record the quarter of the city reserved for citizens of Zaragossa who preferred to sit out the siege in peace and quiet?
