rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 18:15 on 23rd November 2014 I've come up with an Anglo-Russian agreement in 1803 against the French. Napoleon also sold Louisiana to the U.S. Where this all fits in, if it does I don't know. In 1804 the Russian Persian war breaks out. |

rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 12:15 on 24th November 2014 I dismissed the steam locomotive in favour of wars. Richard Trevithick was born in Cornwall, but his steam locomotive ran in February 1804 at the Penydarren Iron works in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Edited by: rustyruth at:24th November 2014 12:21 |
