In "all of history" would you, by any chance include the History
of the Holy Roman Empire, the Norman invasion of England, and the
Napoleonic Wars?

Hmmmmm. The guys who staged the successful invasion of England were
the descendents of Viking settlers who had earlier over-run the native
population of Normandy. So the French can't really claim the invasion
of England as theirs.

.....and didn't some guy called Wellington put an end to Boney's wars
too.
