Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke Of Wellington (1844)
The British forces were led by none other than Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769 – 1852), throughout the Napoleonic Wars. The noble commander beat Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo and sealed his place, according to Britannica, as the most celebrated idol in European history. His career did not end with his unmatched military successes, however, as we went on to be Britain’s prime minister from 1828 to 1830.
