June 18th 1815: Battle of Waterloo

On this day in 1815, French troops under Napoleon Bonaparte were defeated by the seventh coalition led by British Duke of Wellington and Prussian von Blücher at the Battle of Waterloo. Napoleon was then forced to abdicate the French throne for the second and last time, thus signalling the end of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars which had raged since 1792. The coalition was finally able to defeat him at Waterloo when the French (whose backup failed to arrive) were driven from the field by the numerically superior and better led allies. The battle was a major success and victory for the coalition forces, and became legendary. Despite his ultimate defeat, Napoleon is still considered one of the greatest generals of all time.

So, earlier today I found a picture of Winston Churchill in his full officer uniform (on Hitsu’s tumblr), and I felt like I needed to search for more pictures of him.

And voila, here he is sitting down, looking sharp as ever.

So I might post some stuff tomorrow...

Wilhelm II

Goodness me, those clothes are certainly not too shabby, sir.

So Will was the last German emperor [kaiser] and king of Prussia. He was born on January 27, 1859 in Berlin. He was actually born with a gimpy, withered left arm, but he did a pretty darn good job of keeping it hidden! Can’t be kaiser with a wimpy arm, now can you?

By age 29 he was made kaiser, and started working very hard on pumping up the German army/navy. He also had quite a bit of family angst; he was ruthless towards the British, but also adored his grandmother, Queen Victoria. Awww.

In 1914 the Austrians were getting slapped around a bit and Wilhelm basically told them “hey guys don’t be wimps, I’ll back you up if you get into a war okay?” This little memo kinda freaked out Russia and their buddies, they attacked Germany and Austria, and BAM. World War I.

And as history goes, Germany failed, thanks to shortages of men and materials from those years of attrition-based trench warfare. Wilhelm was forced to abdicate and went into exile in the Netherlands. He died on June 4, 1941.

And I just kind of love this picture. Hahaha.

krissztro:

June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. By the day’s end, more than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded on the D-Day invasion, but more than 100,000 soldiers began the march across Europe to defeat Hitler.

We remember these heroes today on the anniversary of D-Day, and thank the current members of our armed forces.

Long Distance Pillows: Scottish designer Joanna Montgomery designed a pillow for couples in long-distance relationships. Each person wears a ring sensor to sleep at night. When one person goes to bed, their lover’s pillow begins to glow softly, and you can hear each other’s heart beating.

wow this is really sweet and just jkaneienaonsdi too bad i’m not in a relationship

cries into a bowl of ice cream

hahahaha, what are relationships?

lol ikr? But this’d be pretty awesome. ;w;

Wear one of the rings on your left hand, and the other on your right.

Then sleep with your head in between both pillows.

/forever alone
