PRONI archivist, Brett Irwin, will look at such momentous events as the French Revolutionary Wars, the French invasion scares, the death of Lord Admiral Nelson, the Peninsular War, Napoleon's escape from Elba, the Congress of Vienna, and, of course, the Battle of Waterloo- where the fate of Europe was decided!
