Summary
[edit]Description18 June 1815 – Victory at Waterloo – Lion's Mound, symbol of Waterloo.jpg |
English: Although the Lion's Mound (File:18_June_1815_–_Victory_at_Waterloo,_memorial.jpg) is undisputedly built on the territory of Braine-l'Alleud, it is irrevocably linked to the neighbour city of Waterloo).
So resounding was the 18th of June 1815 Victory of Waterloo, which put an end to the napoléonic régime and its never ending cortège of wars and deaths and ruins and lootings and misery all over Europe, that the name of Waterloo, along with the even more famous name of Wellington, has been perpetuated all over the world, from Canada to New Zealand, by being given to towns, large and small, and to villages and hamlets, to hills, bays, lakes, and also to streets, boulevards, avenues, squares, bridges, towers, &c., and coins and medals, and also to a train station in London, an obelisk in Wiesbaden, a gate in Osnabrück, and also one in Vienna, a quay in Berlin, a column in Hannover, ..., &c. – to which a few more "Belle-Alliance" should be added.
