Ya just answer some questions (2/3). Try to be detailed. It is not so much the answer as how you present it. What is your field of expertise? |

Was it its strategic value, morale value, etc. Explain. |

Was it its strategic value, morale value, etc. Explain. Verdun was chosen by Falkenhayn to pin the French at place, while Germany launch an attack on British in North and chase them out of continent, without French being able to reinforce them. Militarily, it was not that valuable and French commanders were willing to evacuate the parts of Verdun east of the river Meuse, but French leaders wanted it to be defended because of its symbolic importance. Falkenhayn's plan was to capture Eastern banks of Verdun and then bombwrd the French positions to ground. Germans failed to take it and he changed the objective to "bleed the French army white", instead of accepting failure and backing down. This turned battle of Verdun into meat-grinder, which continued till fall of the year, 1916. |

How had Wellington's experience in the Sepoy Mutiny prepared him for the Napoleonic Wars?

How had Wellington's experience in the Sepoy Mutiny prepared him for the Napoleonic Wars? Are you sure that your question is correct? Sepoy mutiny (at least the one I am thinking of) started in 1857, while Napoleonic wars ended in 1815 |

I knew he served in India maintaining order, so I thought, you know, that. Sorry. Anyway, who would you say was the most important person in terms of building the military prowess of the Waffen SS. |

Wellington fought in the fourth Anglo-Mysore which resulted in a desicive victory for British East India Company and its allies. Himmler and Hauser tied. |

It boosted British morale and let the allies continue the war. Yes, but what if Operation Dynamo was unsuccessful? British morale would be destroyed. And the Germans could have reached Paris a bit more earlier, and lastly, it would have made Battle of Britain successful to the Germans rather than the British. |

It couldn't. It was largely limited to Hindi and Marathi speaking regions. Most of the people were not willing to fight to death, they easily switched sides. |

Himmler was largely responsible for Waffen SS being given so much priority. Hauser, for being the person who led it militarily. |
