Players/The Top of the Pyramid Nathan Mayer Rothschild
London Rothschild — financed Wellington at Waterloo (1777-1836)
Financed Duke of Wellington's army during 1815 Napoleonic campaign culminating at Waterloo. Proprietary courier network supplied gold and intelligence faster than official channels. The Waterloo Commission secured long-term British government debt — the path-dependent foundation of 19th-century Rothschild sovereign-debt dominance.
Apex Test 1815 verdict: Compound-Path / Human-Cabal blend. Evidence shows Rothschild supplied Wellington's gold (documented), securing long-term government debt path-dependence and massive compound returns. The 'advance news of Waterloo manipulated London Stock Exchange' narrative has mixed documentary support; the gold supply and long-term debt positioning is Tier 1 verified.
