Today's 18th June...(yep, this is going to be yet another random historical event-related post and yes, it's nearly the end of the 18th now)

It's the 194th anniversary of the famous Battle of Waterloo fought on the plains of Waterloo in Belgium between the Duke of Wellington, Prussia's Prince Blucher and Napoleon on 18th June 1815. Basically, this WAS the battle which decided the fate of Europe for the coming 100 years until 1914 and the advent of World War I.

*clears throat* Well, anyways...enough about that. Let's carry on, shall we? XD
