An earlier version of this story stated that Napolean called the Breakfast Conference on June 18, 2015. In fact, it was 1815.
The Breakfast Conference, as the NPR story explains, was a meeting called by Napoleon wherein the commander explained that the battle against the Duke of Wellington’s army would be “over by lunchtime.”
