But my favourite, the scene after the news broke. Wellington stayed a while, talking to guests, but also issuing orders. Many of his key officers were in 1 place, so it made sense, he also took command of a map and mobilised the army for Quatre Bras "He's Humbugged me by God!"

#OnThisDay 15th June 1815 the Waterloo Campaign begins. Napoleon invades the Netherlands 🇳🇱🇧🇪, pushing up towards Charleroi. Contact is made between the French vanguard & Prussian positions, which are slowly pushed back. The allies can't decide where the main attack will be.

Neat thread on the Duchess of Richmond's Ball from Marcus. If you like this, follow me, not him, he has enough followers, and I retweet his best stuff anyway (and also provide pictures of Wellington looking hot in jeans).

Held #OnThisDay 15 June 1815, The Duchess of Richmond's Ball, in Brussels. Napoleon had crossed the boarder, but no firm confirmation had filtered its way through Wellington's HQ. With most senior officers attending, so did W. It is now one of the most famous romantic moments

Right now in 1815, Wellington learns that Napoleon's army has marched into Belgium. What does the Duke do? He goes to a fancy dress ball, of course!

On this day in 1918, American troops assault the German lines at Cantigny, France. It's the United States' first major operation of the First World War. Of the 4,000 Doughboys committed to battle, more than 1,600 become casualties.

On this day in 1588, the first vessels of a 130-ship Spanish Armada set sail to invade England. The fleet will never reach its final objective.

#OTD in 1800, the @librarycongress was born! What a tremendous gift to the nation and to future generations. Happy birthday #loc! Like wine and old books, you only get better with age.

Spanish painter Francisco de Goya died #OTD in 1828. Some of his most iconic paintings depict the brutal events of the Peninsular War. This canvas depicts the execution of the rebels of the Dos de Mayo uprising on 3rd May 1808. It was painted in 1814 after the French defeat.

#OTD in 1814, the Sixth Coalition allies entered Paris in triumph. This vindicated Tsar Alexander I's strategy in 1812 of destroying Napoleon's army in Russia and forming alliances with Prussia and Austria to strike without allowing Napoleon time to recover.
