On waterloo, the story goes that local farmers used the bones of men & horses to grind for fertilizer.
I'd be kind of pissed if two armies messed up my farm, but not sure I'd be that pissed off. Then again, I've never been as hungry as a farmer who's annual crop has been trampled down.
It is odd. But a lot of history is odd. They used to grind up Egyptian mummies for medical use too, when they weren't selling household dust as mummy dust.
I've only seen the one story on the missing bones going to fertilizer, but it seems more plausible than entire army remains going missing.
Because it occurred. But here's the thing. It made no difference. If Napoleon won it wouldn't have changed anything and France losing had already lost economical dominance. Their revolution empowering Napoleon. Trafalgar was far more important. It stopped the French navy. Destroyed prior to Waterloo. No invasion of England possible. Meanwhile Prussia beat Napoleon at Waterloo arrived late by calvary beating any advantage, Napoleon pressed. He might have won, if even the sky itself, eruption in Indonesia hadn't have even been against him. Where if he won both Prussia and Russia were there to kick him all over again.
The main thing it did was empower the banks Rothschild, who sooner got their hands all over it. And later, caused the fall of Empires in WW1.
Lol, I didn't know that a poisoned lamb killed Mohammad. Those Jewish women are hard-core.
Hot Jewish women like Janet yellen, Ruth Ginsberg, Caroline Ellison, Barbara feinstein. /s

bones as fertilizer? Bone meal has long been used.

Yawn, that's a poor argument. Remains. The later WWs sooner turned that area into. Where they also ploughed the Germans back into the soil.
Waterloo has been incredibly well documented.
It also made Rothschild his fortune
