Third time's the charm right? Surely Britain n' the gang will take down bad boi France this time?
Some corrections:
- We mentioned when talking about Trafalgar that at this point in time Gibraltar was not yet a British possession. That is incorrect, Britain captured it during the War of Spanish Succession.
- We also mentioned that the Allied effort to capture Hanover fizzled out. That's not quite accurate - the Coalition did occupy Hanover, but made little progress elsewhere in the north and was forced to withdraw after Austerlitz.
- The member of the Consulate who later helped draft the Napoleonic Code was Cambacérès, not Sieyes.
