Hello,

The first War trials were held after the US Civil War.

Henry Wirtz the Swiss born commandant of the Confederate Prison Camp : Andersonville was the only Criminal prosecuted. They were a small number of trials held in Leipzig 1921 resulting from the first World War.    War Trials gained in importance   after World War Two,  the   Nuremburg Trials were seen to try the surviving Culprits  and are held in The Hague currently.  Do you think Napoleon should have been tried as a War Criminal instead of being exiled twice?

Regards

Adrian.
