I think Napoleon was probably the closest Britain ever came to losing their position in the world.
>>
>>902563
Napoleon is when Britain gained a position of relevance in the first place.
>>
No kaiser Wilhelm? The Anglo-German arms race is why ww1 happened
>>
>>902587

And the Marne was oh-so-nearly a loss for the Entente. If France falls and Germany wins that war, they have a very good shot at surpassing the British in world power.
>>
>>902598
But Britain didn't even participate in the Marne, so that's a case of France preserving British power.
>>
>>902563
agreed. at his height Napoleon was beyond Britain's power to stop, they had to wait for him to screw up.
>>
I'm American, but it's obviously Napoleon.

I would also have accepted "Tony Blair."
>>
>>902606

Maybe our definitions of "participate" are skewed.

>39 French divisions

Well ok, I guess technically Britain "participated".
>>
>>902785
Perfect example, most French people probably never even heard of Nelson seeing how he's completely irrelevant.

Yes, and?

Dude the British take credit to this day for forcing the German retreat at the Marne
>>
>>902452
Napoleon easily. The British were so fearful of Napoleon that they declared war on him directly, same with the Prussians for that matter. Not on France, not on the restored French Empire.

But on NAPOLEON the man.
>>
>>902878
There is nothing the British don't take credit for.
