Las guerras napoleónicas, que tuvieron lugar entre 1803 y 1815, fueron encabezadas por el mejor táctico y estratega militar de Francia, el general Napoleón Bonaparte. Sus tácticas y estrategias fueron tan sólidas que sirvieron de base para muchas campañas y maniobras de guerra importantes, tanto durante su vida como después de su fallecimiento. Incluso el enemigo jurado de Francia durante la mayor parte de la era medieval, los británicos, reconocieron su ingenio a pesar de su derrota definitiva a manos del ejército británico al final de su vida.

The Battle of the Somme was a significant battle for all those who took part, but it was especially important for the British because it was the first time in World War One that they were forced to shoulder the main responsibility for an offensive, and they did not have enough time to fully prepare for the assault.

Hitler had ordered a blockade of the British Isles and for some months German U-boats and warships caused havoc among allied merchant shipping carrying vital supplies.

Originally born into minor nobility, Philip was never considered to one day be king. The life journey of Philip VI, the first king of House Valois, is a truly fascinating story filled with unsuspecting inheritance.
