<p>The Battle of Waterloo was a big deal, but in the global scheme of things, it wasn’t Napolean’s biggest defeat, simply the last (and had the highest death rate per minute.) France lost more than 80,000 men in an attempted reinvasion of Haiti in 1802, trying to defeat the only successful national slave revolt in the history of the world. Take those 80,000 men and put them back into Napolean’s army in France, and the whole world looks different!</p>
