Summary "Casell's History of England, Vol. 5 (of 8)" by Anonymous is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. This volume continues the chronicle of England from the reign of George III, covering significant events and transitions throughout Europe during the period of the Napoleonic Wars. Major themes include political maneuvers, battles, and key historical figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte and the British leadership during wartime. At the start of this volume, the narrative delves into the complexities of Napoleon's reign, particularly his decision to divorce Josephine and marry Archduchess Maria Louisa of Austria to secure his dynasty. The account highlights the political ramifications of this marriage as well as the emperor's growing conflicts with his family and allies. The text also discusses the leadership challenges faced by Wellington in the Peninsular War, illustrating the strained relationships between British and Portuguese authorities and emphasizing the broader geopolitical tensions that defined this tumultuous era.
