Most people know the Duke of Wellington for defeating Napoleon at Waterloo. But when asked which battle truly tested him, Wellington didn’t name Waterloo. He said Assaye.
Fought in the blistering heat of central India in 1803, the Battle of Assaye was Arthur Wellesley’s first major command—and one of the most audacious victories in British military history. Outnumbered seven to one, with just 6,500 men and minimal artillery, Wellesley led a daring assault against a Maratha army of over 40,000 troops supported by more than 100 cannon.
