The Duke of Wellington was Napoleon’s arch nemesis.Napoleon was the french emperor and the Duke of Wellington was head of the british army. The two only met once the entire time they were fighting each other and that was at the battle of Waterloo. A British artillery officer came to Wellington to tell him that he had a clear a view of Napoleon and several guns pointing in that direction Wellington replied, “No I’ll not allow it It is not the business of commanders to be firing upon one another””(Seelin, “napoleon’s nemesis; the duke…”).He did this because he knew that if he had killed him then people would never know if he would have won the battle the right way.This just shows that the Duke was much more honorable than his enemy, Bonaparte.

The Emperor Napoleon and Duke of wellington had many different cultural aspects of life that they did on a daily basis. Napoleon According to Wikipedia, Napoleon was "bossy, short and comical". Also, Biography.com states that the Duke of Wellington actually "hated fighting and had no thirst for blood." (Biography.com)I feel that Emperor Napoleon and the Duke should only have had a business rivalry, but they were culturally different.
