Napoleon schlug in Waterloo sein letztes Gefecht, das bis heute als die wohl berühmteste Schlacht der Weltgeschichte in Erinnerung blieb. Waterloo ist DAS Synonym für den zweiten Griff nach den Sternen ebenso wie für das finale Scheitern. Trotz seiner erzwungenen Abdankung im Vorjahr und dem Exil in Elba wollte es der Ex-Kaiser noch einmal wissen: Zwei Tage nach den Schlachten von Ligny und Quatre Bras standen sich am 18. Juni 1815, einem Sonntag, etwa 15 Kilometer südlich von Brüssel, nahe der kleinen Ortschaft Mont St. Jean, erneut 180.000 deutsche, niederländische, englische und französische Soldaten gegenüber. Der Militärhistoriker Klaus-Jürgen Bremm schildert die dramatische Vorgeschichte dieses Feldzuges und seine Etappen. Er analysiert das Schlachtgeschehen des Tages detailliert, porträtiert die Akteure, die Armeen und untersucht die Bewaffnung der Soldaten. Und er beschreibt Nachleben und Rezeption wie auch die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen, Kriegsgeschehnisse der Vergangenheit zu rekonstruieren. Eindrucksvoll geschildert entsteht so ein Porträt der Schlacht mit all ihren Facetten.

Who Owned Waterloo Battle, Memory, and Myth in British History, 1815-1852

Between 1815 and the Duke of Wellington’s death in 1852, the Battle of Waterloo became much more than simply a military victory. While other countries marked the battle and its anniversary, only Britain actively incorporated the victory into their national identity, guaranteeing that it would become a ubiquitous and multi-layered presence in British culture. By examining various forms of commemoration, celebration, and recreation, Who Owned Waterloo? demonstrates that Waterloo’s significance to Britain’s national psyche resulted in a different kind of war altogether: one in which civilian and military groups fought over and established their own claims on different aspects of the battle and its remembrance. By weaponizing everything from memoirs, monuments, rituals, and relics to hippodramas, panoramas, and even shades of blue, veterans pushed back against civilian claims of ownership; English, Scottish, and Irish interests staked their claims; and conservatives and radicals duelled over the direction of the country. Even as ownership was contested among certain groups, large portions of the British population purchased souvenirs, flocked to spectacles and exhibitions, visited the battlefield itself, and engaged in a startling variety of forms of performative patriotism, guaranteeing not only the further nationalization of Waterloo, but its permanent place in nineteenth century British popular and consumer culture.
