France objects to "Waterloo" coin?

Also ignores the fact that the Europeans were actively slaughtering natives in the rest of the world.... except for Isandlwana and a few other fuck ups.

Yeah, thought about it after posting. The 19th century was when colonialism really kicked off. At least for the british, the french and the belgians. Come to think of it, since Belgium is a direct creation of the battle of Waterloo and the ensuing treaties, you can add Kongo to the list. The private possession of the Belgian king, where he really showed himself to be a shiny beacon of humanity. Only to be topped by a select few slaughterers of the 20th century.
