| Summary/Abstract |
The Battle of Waterloo, so iconic to the Victorians, is altogether less relevant to modern Britain's self-image. Though the image of stalwart defence and triumph over unreason and tyranny is an enduring motif in the British narrative, Waterloo has been eclipsed in popular consciousness by the battles of the Second World War. Nevertheless, Waterloo remains a significant milestone in world history, for it assured the dominance, for better or worse, of a European model of liberal capitalism.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Battle of Waterloo marked the end of a protracted European conflict that had lasted for twenty-three years. This period witnessed the seemingly inexorable rise of Napoleon, first to the position of general, then consul and finally emperor. It saw him face several kaleidoscopic coalitions of European powers, experience victory and defeat in battle, suffer exile, and return to rally France once again during the famous Hundred Days that ended at Waterloo. The question as to why this most famous of military strategists was defeated in June 1815 has long been a source of debate. Here, Beatrice Heuser explores the reasons why he lost the battle and – ultimately – the war, concluding that this was due to a broader failure of strategic vision on Napoleon's part.

| Summary/Abstract |
By bringing the Napoleonic Wars to an end, the Battle of Waterloo gave the last impetus to an ongoing upheaval that, in little over a decade, dislocated a centuries-old global Iberian world. To a limited extent, it also contributed to the unleashing of an era of civil war that resulted in the secession of most of the Spanish American dominions and fuelled the ideological battleground between conservative and progressive, centralist and decentralist forces. Portugal fared no better, troubled by domestic crises and the eventual unravelling of the Lusitanian Empire through the emergence of an independent Brazil.
