Britain was the only real superpower? France had been disputing that claim for about a hundred years at that point. In point of fact between the time of Charlemagne, and Waterloo, there are few periods in which France was not the dominant power. France was generally larger, richer, more populous, and more powerful than the rest of Europe. I am sure that Wellington was a good guy, but that "article" is garbage. Some information is useful despite being obviously biased, but this is just dreck. Wellington was physically fit, and Napoleon wasn't? This must obviously have been a decisive factor; it's good the right man won. I am surprised not to read a discussion of their favorite colors. I am sure that you can pick apart a global conflict spanning (at least) two decades, with many reverses and triumphs by both sides, to show that one side and one hero was destined to win, the other side's defeat inevitable. I am less convinced that this is a good thing to do, and more skeptical that your hero does not have the reputation he deserves.
