on the French coast Of the Eng
lish channel stands a monument
erected by Napoleon in honor Of his
Invasion Of England All that inn
pairs the awesOmeness Of this great
shaft is the fact that Napoleon's
invasion never came on.
He built the monument first, then
attempted the invasion, and failed.
In 55 and 81 B G the Romans had
invaded England under Julius Caesar.
But the island was not subdued be
fore 81 A. D. For 300 years after
that the Romans held It.
In the Nth century various Tcu-
tonic tribes invaded the island. and
these, the Angles. Saxons, and lutes
ruled until 1866 when another inva-
sion, that OF William the Conqueror
and his Normans from France, was
accomplished.
The next serious threat to the in
tegrity OF the British Isles came in
1888 when the famous Spanish Arm
ada was sent TO subdue England and
was defeated by Howard and Drake
and wrecked by a great storm
Finally, in 1905, Napoleon assemb-
led a powerful army Of 10000 men
and attempted TO obtain control Of
the channel ana transport his troops
TO the Kentish coast But the Eng
lish fleet under Cornwallis and Mel
son outfought the French fleet. and
the last serious attempt az the inva-
sion OF England up TO today was
forestalied.
