Immigration debate at Festival of Ideas 2013

A Dividing Issue - The Immigration Debate

Waterloo is a battle to be ‘celebrated’, as least from the British perspective. Yet even in the Britain of 1815, there were those who bemoaned Napoleon’s defeat as a setback for progress. In this public event Professor Alan Forrest (York) and Dr Michael Rowe (King’s College London / Sir Michael Howard Centre for the History of War) debate the pros and cons of Napoleonic rule, and consider whether Europe might not have been better off if Napoleon rather than Wellington had triumphed on the field of Waterloo. 

The event took place at the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo Festival 'The Legacy of War' in St John's Church, Waterloo on 16 February 2015.
