Napoleon always referred to Britain as his most constant and most generous enemy. Britain was the only nation in Europe that had opposed France and had remained undefeated from the start of the French Revolutionary War in 1793, and throughout what became known as the Napoleonic War.

After his defeat at Waterloo he surrendered to the British out of respect for them, he had defeated Prussia, Austria and Russia at various times throughout his career and had dictated terms to their rulers, none of whom he had any regard for whatsoever.
