The Battle of Waterloo

The Battle of Waterloo is one of the most important events in the 19th century. Napoleon was defeated. The battle took place in 1815. How to memorize this? Well, there is an easy mnemonic. Imagine that you tell this story to your children (of nephews, nieces)  before they go to bed. Tell it in a very childish manner. Then memorize the following sentence:

A Children's Story

We can now use  the mnemonic count system: count the number of letters in each word. And voila, you will not forget this year any longer.
